Create a family plan 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.

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 in February. The twice-a-week classes 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.

Class information will be publicized in a future edition of the LW Weekly.
