WHY SHOULD
YOU
TAKE C.E.R.T. TRAINING?
Because emergency services will not be able to assist everyone
immediately after a disaster, you and CERT training could make a difference for
your household and neighbors. Impassable roads, broken communication, and the
size of the affected area could mean that residents may have to manage on their
own until emergency services arrive.
Residents in Warsaw, Nellie and West
Lafayette areas are encouraged to attend the next class.
Class graduates receive a
FREE backpack valued at over $150
with emergency supplies and tools that they keep.
