The City of Dallas is arming its citizens with essential skills to take on any emergency head-on, launching a free Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Basic Training Course. Set to kick off on September 8, at the Dallas Fire-Rescue Training Academy, the sessions offer locals a chance to step up community preparedness. Those keen on joining should make a note of the registration deadline set for September 6, as reported by the City of Dallas.
With training spanning three comprehensive sessions, the CERT course is all about fostering self-reliance in crisis scenarios, covering everything from basic disaster preparedness to light search and rescue operations. Whether your drive comes from a passion for community service or a desire to be a pillar of support when disaster strikes, attending all sessions culminating in a hands-on disaster exercise is mandatory, according to the City of Dallas.
For those who complete the course successfully, their effort culminates in a certificate of recognition. And while the dates for Spanish CERT courses remain up in the air, for the English sessions, interested parties are directed to secure their spots promptly. More information, together with the registration form, is accessible at dallascert.com, or by reaching out to Cassandra D. Wallace at 469-525-8778.
