Mahwah CERT Training to Begin in January

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT/CART) training will be offered at the Bergen Law and Public Safety Institute in Mahwah starting in the New Year on Tuesday, January 14, at 7 p.m. 

The training covers exciting topics such as Disaster Preparedness, Terrorism Awareness, and Animal Rescue, and provides residents with basic skills and information on what to do before, during and after a disaster to aid themselves, their family and their community.

There is no cost to participate in the CERT/CART training course which will begin on Tuesday, January 14, from 7 to 9:30 p.m., and will run on Tuesday evenings for 12 weeks. At the completion of the program, basic CERT safety equipment will be issued to each participant.  Class size is limited, so immediate registration is encouraged to insure a place in this class.
