The next series of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program classes began on Wed. Jan. 8. Classes are scheduled to take place on Wednesdays at 6 p.m. for seven weeks. They will take place at Malibu City Hall.
The CERT program was developed in 1985 by the Los Angeles Fire Department to provide basic training to the general public in safety and lifesaving skills. This is to help provide service when first responders may not fully be able to meet the demand for their services.
Classes cover disaster preparedness, fire suppression, light search/rescue, terrorism and team organization/disaster psychology. For more information, contact Brad Davis at 310.456.2489 ext. 260.
