Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)  Training Program

The Brentwood Community Council (BCC) is sponsoring a free Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training Program at Paul Revere Charter Middle School starting in March. The CERT program is provided by the Los Angeles Fire Dept. This program is the Nationally Accepted Federal Standard for community response team training.

What is CERT? Local government prepares for everyday emergencies. However, during a disaster, the number and scope of incidents can overwhelm conventional emergency services. The CERT program is an all-risk, all-hazard training. This valuable course is designed to help you protect yourself, your [email protected], your neighbors and your neighborhood in an emergency situation.

The CERT program consists of 2½ hour classes, once a week, for 7 consecutive weeks. All sessions will be on Thursday evenings from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm. The dates will be March 5, 12, 19, 26, April 2, 9, 16. Classes will be in the school”s Town Hall next to the cafeteria. Signs will be posted to help locate the building.
