Are you prepared for a disaster?

from the office of Steve Bennett...

A Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) program is available to Ojai Valley residents. This 7-week course, sponsored by the Ventura County Fire Department, covers basic skills that are important to know in a disaster when emergency services are not available. CERT participants receive training, practice and learn how to work as a team in their neighborhoods. No prior experience or training is necessary, and there is no fee for the program.

Classes begin on Wednesday June 27, 2007 from 7:00 PM to 9:30 PM and will run weekly through August 15. (No class on Wednesday, July 4.) Classes will be held in the multi-purpose room at the Oak View Park and Resource Center, 555 Mahoney, Oak View.

To register for CERT, email steve.bennett@ventura.org with your name, address and phone number or call Steve Bennett's office at 805-654-2703.
