The City of Yorba Linda, in conjunction with OCFA, has established a CERT team for the “Land of Gracious Living.” CERT is a volunteer organization that helps the City and neighboring communities during emergencies. To get involved, take the CERT training course!
The course will teach how to prepare yourself, your family, and your community for emergencies and what it takes to be an effective first responder. The following topics are taught during the course:
Disaster Preparedness Fire Safety Disaster Medical Operations Search and Rescue
CERT Organization Disaster Psychology Terrorism
The course will take place October 17, 18, and 24, free of charge. All three days will go from 8am to 5pm with a lunch break in between. October 17 and 18 will be educational and will take place on at the Yorba Linda Community Center. October 24 will be a “hands-on” disaster simulation at the OCFA training facility in Irvine.
Please email Brett Channing @ bchanning@yorba-linda.org if you would like to sign up for the class. Be sure to do so quickly, as there are only 25 spots available!
