Local Students Offered Emergency Response Classes

The Cincinnati (Ohio) Area Chapter teamed with Cincinnati Public Schools to provide Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) classes for local students and adults. Teen CERT provides participants with disaster preparedness training for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization and disaster medical operations. This program involves youth and helps the Cincinnati Red Cross community grow in the number of people that are ready to react when disaster strikes.
