Are you ready for the next major disaster? 

The Northshore Emergency Management Coalition is sponsoring a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) class beginning on January 21, 2016.

This course will meet on Thursday nights at the Northshore Fire Department Station 51 in Kenmore (7220 NE 181st St.), from 1/21 through 3/10.  All sessions begin at 7:00 p.m. and conclude by 10:00 p.m.

CERT students will learn to:

• Extinguish small fires,
• Provide life-saving first aid,
• Conduct urban search and rescue, and
• Perform other vital skills needed to help others after a disaster.

The first 25 students will be given priority seating.  If you are interested in attending this course, please fill out and send in the following prior to the first class:

• CERT Training Registration Form (click for link)
• The non-refundable course fee of $35 (Credit cards are not accepted, please make check payable to City of Lake Forest Park)

The mailing address is on the Registration Form. Receipts for your course fee will be provided upon request at the first class. All participants will receive a student manual and the safety gear that is required to participate in the CERT classes.

Whether you want a little more emergency preparedness information for yourself, your family or you are interested in helping your community in disaster, we look forward to meeting you when class starts.

Be Ready, Be Safe!
