The Fargo Cass Public Health Emergency Preparedness & Response Division will conduct a summer Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training beginning June 6. CERT is an All-Hazard approach to train and educate citizens in case of a large or small-scale disaster. Following a major disaster, first responders who provide fire and medical services will not be able to meet the demand for these services. CERT training provides life-saving skills and techniques for people who will rely on each other for help in the time of need.

This training is FREE and open to the public. Classes will take place at Edgewood Vista, 4420 37th Ave S, Fargo, ND 58104, from 1 - 3 p.m.
