North Escambia residents have an upcoming opportunity to become more prepared for disasters thanks to BRACE — the Be Ready Alliance Coordinating for Emergencies.
BRACE will offer Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training beginning August 25 and ending with a disaster drill on October 22.
CERT training is available to Escambia County (Fla.) residents 18 or older and includes basic disaster response skills like fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization and disaster medical operations.
“CERT members can assist others in their community or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available for help,” according to Gloria Horning, spokesperson for BRACE.
The CERT training will be offered from 6-9 p.m. Thursdays at the Century Town Hall on August 25, September 1, September 15, September 22, October 6, October 13 and October 20.
