PREPARE FOR AN EMERGENCY

Learn how to create an emergency plan for your family tomorrow, Friday, Jan 27, at 10 a.m. in a 45-minute informational meeting in Clubhouse 3, Room 2. CERT leaders will teach you how to make a plan for your personal support network during an emergency and how to begin making an emergency kit. Everyone is welcome.

This is the first in a series of 45-minute CERT informational meetings to be held the fourth Friday of the month. The Feb. 24 meeting will teach practical tools for getting ready for earthquakes, and on March 24 you can learn how to communicate in an emergency, such as what to use and who to contact.

People can learn more, especially how to be of help to others, by becoming a member of CERT and completing training classes. New classes will begin Feb. 7 and will be held from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays for six weeks. For questions or to enroll, call Eloy Gomez at 562-431-6586, ext. 356. Those who have completed their training are asked to make sure Eloy has their email.
