Attention, parents! The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region 10 is hosting a virtual information session on Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) for youths!

In today's ever-changing world, it is critical to equip children with the knowledge and skills to navigate emergency situations. The CERT program offers a unique platform for young individuals to learn about disaster preparedness, response techniques, and community engagement?all from the comfort of their own homes.

These sessions provide valuable insights into essential emergency skills. From basic first aid and CPR to fire safety and search and rescue techniques, your children will acquire life-saving abilities that can make a significant difference in critical situations. Imagine the peace of mind that comes from knowing your child has the confidence to act in emergencies.

Furthermore, the CERT program fosters a sense of community and belonging. By participating, your children will be joining a network of like-minded individuals who share a common goal: to ensure the safety and welfare of their neighborhoods. This is also a wonderful opportunity for teenagers to explore future careers in fields such as emergency management, public service, or even healthcare. The knowledge and experience gained through the program can be a steppingstone towards fulfilling careers and personal growth.

So, parents, take this opportunity to empower your children and shape them into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals. Sign them up today and set them up to thrive as community leaders and lifesavers.

Remember, it's never too early to start preparing for emergencies, and your child's involvement in the CERT program could be the difference between uncertainty and confidence in times of crisis.
