Would you like to be a superhero in your community, helping your neighbors? The Burnt Store Marina Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is made up of your neighbors who have completed a Federal Emergency Management Agency approved program. This program provides them with the basic skills and equipment to prepare for, and respond to our neighborhood needs in the aftermath of a disaster when emergency services may not be immediately available.
Free on-line and hands-on training is provided to help you and your neighbors prepare for disasters such as hurricanes, severe weather, fires, or other large-scale emergencies. Burnt Store Marina CERT is a vital part of our community-based disaster resilience, providing an organized, trained group of volunteers who can assist in reducing the impact of disasters on our community.
To learn more about the Burnt Store Marina CERT, contact Jerry Newmin ([email protected]) at 941-637-9883 or you can attend the CERT meeting on March 10 at 10 a.m. at the Cass Cay Tiki Hut.
