The Greater Green Valley Community Emergency Response Team is once again offering its free basic training course. This year all training will be done in person at the Santa Rita Fire District Training Center Annex, 1285 W. Camino Encanto, just east of the intersection with Camino Del Sol. Classes will be held on April 24 and 25 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please bring a bagged lunch both days. The disaster exercise that will test the information learned during the training will take place starting at 9 a.m. on April 26. The exercise will be over by noon.
Topics include disaster preparedness; CERT organization; Disaster Medical, Search, and Rescue; and more. To graduate, all students must participate in the disaster exercise.
One may register for the course by going to ggvcert.com and completing the Contact Us form. In the Comments section of the form, indicate CERT Basic Course.
We hope you will consider taking the basic course to learn what CERT can train you to do should you face an emergency situation. There is no charge to take the course, and you will learn skills that will help you, even if you don’t decide to join our team. Those who do join will receive a CERT Emergency Kit and T-shirt at no cost. Annual dues are $20.
Sign up today—you won’t regret learning some new skills.
