Create an emergency plan for you and your family on Jan. 27

CERT

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) will meet at 10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 9 on Jan. 27 at 10 a.m. The topic will be “Create Your Family Emergency Plan.” All are welcome.

During this class, residents will create a family plan for 2023, create a personal support network for emergencies, and begin creating an emergency kit for their home.

CERT holds regular 45-minute organizational meetings on the fourth Friday of the month.

Meanwhile, LW residents are encouraged to give emergency preparedness a high priority. To that end, people should make sure their Go Bags and at-home supplies of food and medicines are up to date.

In-depth training will be offered beginning Tuesday, Feb. 27, from 6-8 p.m. The twice-a-week classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays cover introduction to disaster preparedness, disaster psychology, team organization, fire suppression, light search and rescue and basic medical training, among other topics. Those who complete the course earn a certificate and are fully prepared to help out in the event of a disaster.
