Town councilwoman Jennifer Bieber sent us an e-mail about a great program she plans to offer at the town hall....
For those of you who aren't familiar with CERT training, it is a Community Emergency Response Team. I am working on getting a training course at our town hall, to include Hartland and the Village of Middleport. Training is 100% free and is offered to all residence ages 16 and older. I think it is an amazing opportunity to be able to volunteer and help a neighbor or community in need. I have posted information on the town website under the public safety section. Please take a moment to check it out and look at the CERT handout pdf file that lists all the training they do. It also gives you the time requirements. If you are interested, please sign up on line, we are limited to about 50 people. I have included the link on the website for applications. Please spread the word if you know others who would be interested. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me or email me.

The time commitment to this class would be 1 day a week in the evening for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, for 8 weeks. The final, simulated disaster drill usually takes place on a Saturday.
