PEACHTREE CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT PRESS RELEASE

The Peachtree City Community Emergency Response Team announces its 36th CERT Class

The Peachtree City Police Department will be hosting an Adult Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) class beginning Thursday, September 5th. Classes will be held at the police station each Thursday evening from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm and will conclude November 14th.

CERT is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) program designed to train and prepare individuals to help themselves, their family and their neighbors in the event of a disaster. This "all hazards" training prepares members of the community, neighborhoods and workplaces to take a more active role in emergency planning for their area and to prepare themselves and others for disasters and emergencies.

 

Training includes a variety of topics and skills, from basic medical treatment to light search and rescue, active shooter / active threat awareness, fire and utilities safety, disaster psychology, and emergency preparedness. Students have an opportunity to practice learned skills in class and also during a mock disaster exercise.

Prospective students must be at least 18 years of age and legal residents of Georgia. Class is free of charge but will be limited to the first 24 applicants accepted.
