    Cert Training Class Fall 2012 - 8 Weeks -Free training and equipment

    Community Emergency Response Team Training - sponsored by Dept of Homeland Security and FEMA
    This class helps you prepare yourself and Teach you the basic skills to take care of your family and community during and after an emergency/disaster before responders are able to respond and assist. This could be due to
    geographic isolation or limits on ems resources.

    Location: 22125 Kingsland Dr., Katy, TX 77450
    Start date: 8/7/12
    End Date: 9/25/12
    Night: Tuesdays
    Duration: 7:00pm to 10:00pm
    Cost: Free includes a manual and a backpack with CERT equipment
    Materials required: Pen, maybe a notepad
    Walkins: welcome but we need enough advance signups to secure the class

    This is not first aid/CPR. CPR class doesn't teach you how to sort victims by severity, put out fires, search for victims, talk to victims and loved ones, mobilize injured people, rescue trapped people.....TAKE THIS CLASS

    It's a hands on class following these topics:
    Week 1 - Disaster Preparedness
    Week 2 - Small Fire Supression (yes we use fire extinguishers)
    Week 3 - Medical Operations - Treatment Strategies
    Week 4 - Medical Operations - Triage
    Week 5 - Light Search and Rescue

      Hey y'all that are interested but can't make the training, or if you live far away from West Houston/Katy, let me know. The cert program is nation wide! I can hook you up with your local instructor and possibly the next training date for your area.
      I'm slowly gathering info in the Community Services area which will eventually include the other counties beyond Harris and Fort Bend.

      Hey XXX, per our offline discussion, I have found out that in June, Fort Bend did have a weekend class. I have contacted Edward Norman (community service emergency contacts thread) to see if he is planning any to come. Edward is cool. He memorized everyone's name in our class as his introduction oce breaker, on the night he trained us.

      I am having a HORRIBLE time getting anyone from Tomball CERT to call me back. They are a little closer than a few of the other ones in Montgomery County. Evidently in MoCo they rotate locations and the one in The Woodlands is about 2 weeks from ending. I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes open!

      Ok Janis, I'll see what I can dig up. There may be several near you. We had week 1 for Tri-county (west I-10vfd/Katy) today, but cy-fair has a week 2 tomorrow. Then the Katy folks could have also gone to the 3 fort bend classes that were summer sessions.

      Great News! Barbara Tague is the right person. As the Program Coordinator for Tomball CERT, She has replied back, and the next Tomball class is starting on Tuesday 9/18/12. Once I get more details on place/time I will post it up. Lil busy at work today, but wanted to get y'all an update. I can set it up in the calendar if you like, or I can let you all post it once we get the specifics.

      I will also be updating the emergency contacts list with your montgomery county contact and Barbara's contact info for future reference, since I need to start breaking it out by county anyway.

      Thanks for the continued interest.
