From the Newsletter
Community Emergency Response Program
The City of Brook Park CERT team was again activated during the March
7-9 blizzard. The
team was tasked with clearing an emergency entry way into the homes of
those individuals
that were on the Senior Snow Plow List. Because of the amount of snow
(drifts as high as doorways) and the limited number that were actually
able to assist, team members weren’t able to respond to every home on
the list, but to the several hundred homes they did reach, they made a
huge difference. Kudos to our CERT members and their commitment to
serving! We are proud to announce that another group of 8 volunteers
completed their training in
March. Their final CERT training drill was postponed a week due to the
March blizzard. As part of our “Each One, Reach One” recruiting effort
this year, we will be hosting a CERT Orientation/Pizza Party for those
interested in joining the CERT Program in mid-September.
We are looking for variety of volunteers with different work backgrounds
and experiences, not just those with prior police, fire or medical
experience. Stay tuned and check out our website
for date, time and location. We plan to conduct another training session
in the fall after the orientation, but you don’t have to wait for that
to become a member of the team. We have meetings every two months that
you can attend and begin to be a part of the TEAM! We will have ongoing
refresher training to keep current members up-to-date on the latest
policies and
procedures. The CERT Program now has a webpage on the city’s website.
You can get to the CERT webpage by going into the Safety Department link
on the home page and then clicking on the CERT Program link on the
Safety Department page. You can also scroll to the bottom of the city’s
home page and click on the CERT logo. There is a calendar of
events/meetings if you’d like to attend one of their meetings to see
what they are all about. CERT members will have a booth at Community
Days that you can visit, and they will have applications for those of
you that would like to become part of the “green hat” brigade. We will
continue to conduct year round enrollment for our residents as well.
CERT members will also be a part of the parade on Sunday. If you are
interested in learning more about the City of Brook Park CERT Program,
please contact Safety Director Nuzzo at 216-433-1300, or stop by the
CERT booth at our Community Days.
