Cobb Community Emergency Response Team seeks volunteers
If you ever wonder what you should do during a crisis, Cobb’s Emergency Management Agency is ready to train the next group of Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members during September, October and November.
The agency will offer 24 hours of free instruction designed to prepare volunteers for possible disasters.
Once they complete training, Cobb EMA will include the new CERT members in future opportunities to help the community.
The training will take place 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on three consecutive Saturdays:
- Sept. 9, 16 and 23
- Oct. 14, 21 and 28
- Nov. 4, 11 and 18
Each Saturday will focus on a different topic.
Potential CERT members must complete all three classes.
Participants who cannot attend the three consecutive classes will have the opportunity to finish later.
