CERT seeks ‘a few good volunteers’

Grand Island Dispatch, December 22, 2006

The Grand Island Citizens Corps Council is looking for a few good volunteers for the Community Emergency Response Team, or CERT. The CERT training program prepares local citizens to be ready to respond during emergency situations in their community.

As everyone saw during the recent October snowstorm, many individuals were not prepared for the conditions and weather. Citizens of each community can learn to be ready for such emergencies. A Grand Island CERT training class begins Thursday, Jan. 11, 2007, at 6:30 p.m., at Fire Headquarters, 2275 Baseline Road.

For registration and information, contact the Border Community SERVICE Project of Niagara University at 205-0070/205-0074 or by e-mail: nbb@niagara.edu or nch@niagara.edu.
