Are you ready for a large disaster or emergency?

Become a Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) volunteer and make a difference in your community. Free classes starting for the summer. Sign up now. Classes fill up quickly!

Who: Any interested citizen (16 and older)
Where: Aurora Municipal Center, 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy, Aurora Room
When: Every Tuesday from 6:15 - 9:15 p.m. (unless otherwise posted)

Classes start June 10 and run through Aug 2.

Final class includes a disaster simulation exercise.

Register on line at afd_oem@auroragov.org or call 303-326-8964.

CERT teaches readiness, people helping people, rescuer safety, and doing the greatest good for the greatest number. CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens will be initially on their own and their actions can make a difference.

Through training, citizens can manage utilities, put out small fires, provide basic medical aid, search for and rescue victims safely, and organize themselves and spontaneous volunteers to be effective.
