Altadena is now very lucky to have TWO Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Trainings scheduled for January, 2012.
The first will be presented by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on these dates:
Sat., Jan. 7 8 AM to 5 PM
Tues., Jan. 10 6 PM to 9:30 PM
Wed., Jan. 11 6 PM to 9:30 PM
Thurs., Jan. 12 6 PM to 9:30 PM
Sat., Jan. 14 8 AM to 3:30 PM
You must complete the entire class in order to receive a certificate of completion.
You can register by emailing me your name, address, telephone number and letting me know the best email address to use to provide you with more information about the class and by visiting this website: http://www.rcpi-ca.org/calendar/list/ The Altadena/Pasadena area class is at the top of the list.
The facility we'd plan to hold this class lost its roof in the windstorm on Nov. 30, so we'll have a new location arranged later this week and will provide that info as soon as it's available.
The second will be presented by the Los Angeles County Fire Department on these dates:
Sat., Jan. 21 9 am to 4 pm
Sat., Jan. 28 9 am to 4 pm
Sat., Feb. 4 9 am to 4 pm
The class will take place at the Davies Building at Farnsworth Park which is located at Lake Avenue and Mount Curve.
You can register for the class here: http://fire.lacounty.gov/cert
As with any CERT class, you must complete all of the class sessions to receive a certificate of completion.
There is no fee for participation in these classes.
If you have questions about CERT and why you should do it, please feel free to let me know.
