City to launch free disaster response training
Ontario on May 7 will offer free Community Emergency Response Team training at Ontario Convention Center.
CERT training will help community members work together to respond to disasters that affect their homes, workplaces and neighborhoods.
Attendees will view lectures and videos as well as participate in hands-on training, which may be needed if emergency responders are delayed due to the size and scope of the disaster.
CERT classes will include training for emergency and disaster preparedness, fire safety and suppression, search and rescue, terrorism and disaster psychology.
The free classes will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 7, 14 and 21.
Ontario residents and city employees ages 18 and older can participate.
Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
For registration information, call 909-980-2857, ext. 247.
For more information on CERT, call 909-395-2545 or send an e-mail to mgregory@ci.ontario.ca.us.
