Do you ever wonder what you should do during a crisis? Cobb’s Emergency Management Agency is ready to train the next group of Community Emergency Response Team members. The agency will offer 24 hours of free instruction designed to prepare volunteers for possible disasters. Once they complete training, Cobb EMA will include the new CERT members in future opportunities to help the community.
The training happens 8am-5pm on three consecutive Saturdays. Dates with remaining availability include:
- Sept. 9, 16, and 23
- Oct. 14, 21, and 28
- Nov. 4, 11, and 18
Each Saturday will focus on a different topic; potential CERT members must complete all three classes. Participants who cannot attend the three consecutive classes will have the opportunity to finish later.
If you have any questions about the classes, or if you would like to enroll, please email bernard.king@cobbcounty.org or call (770) 499-4568. The EMA office will be happy to assist with any questions.
