FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE    

 

 

ntb group completed the deliver of 3 CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) classes and a CERT Train the Trainer for Palm Beach County.

 

Following a major disaster, first responders who provide fire and medical services will not be able to meet the demand for these services. Factors such as number of victims, communication failures and road blockages will prevent people from accessing emergency services they have come to expect at a moment's notice through 911. People will have to rely on each other for help in order to meet their immediate life saving and life sustaining needs. The FEMA sponsored CERT program trains community members to respond and address immediate needs until First Responders arrive.

 

"The CERT program helps community members prepare and respond to disasters. These citizens become ambassadors of preparedness and can help their own community in so many different ways", says Paula Lerner, ntb group's Managing Partner.
