Eight members of the Northview High School  NJROTC unit participated in Teen Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training this week, sponsored by the federal Emergency Management Agency. Teen CERT is a national program of volunteers trained in disaster preparedness and emergency response. Teen CERT training teaches teens about the potential disasters that could affect their area and how to safely and responsibly respond to them.
