See announcement and info below. CERT is a national program training community members in how to support their community before, during and after disasters and emergencies. It is a lot of fun, a ton of great info, and really cool, plus upon completion you are an official city volunteer. That said it is also a commitment to joining your local team and getting out there to get to know and support your community, so might not be for everyone. Also usually requires a background check and the training is 10 weeks, one evening a week. Any questions just ask me cause I ma now a member of CERT Brooklyn 3/4, and loving it! Looking at you Joe Page and Tamika Johnson!!!
