CERT Memory - From 2014 All of our CERT Academy members are able to take part in additional bandaging and splinting classes. These classes help us take care of those small injuries that happen at home and in a disaster. This, along with our Stop The Bleed Course, is vital to making sure our team is able to help no matter the size of the disaster.

March 2014- First aid class

Fun approach!

As you watch for a perfect March Madness bracket, don’t forget to build your emergency game plan!

Unlike your bracket, preparedness isn’t about picking winners. You need every piece in place.

Cert Family - just an FYI there will be a statewide drill of all local public awareness systems on April 2.

“Conducting drills to reaffirm procedures, promote confidence in technological tools, and identify potential shortfalls is key to ensuring these systems operate with precision, accuracy, and timeliness when they are needed the most.” -Chief Kidd
