A training session on terrorism will be held Saturday, July 30, for local residents who are already members of Burnet County's Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).
Everyone interested in becoming part of the team is invited to register now for the next CERT training class.
In a county of 2,021 square miles, a serious disaster could prevent many from travel or access to emergency services. Community reliance for safety and rescue is goal of the CERT and the most recent class of 32 graduates has brought the total to 173 of volunteers trained for action.
The class June 30 will be conducted 9 a.m.-noon at the Marble Falls Fire Rescue Building, 700 Avenue N in Marble Falls. The terrorism training will include scenario training and a focus on the appropriate medical response to terrorist acts involving firearms and gunshot wounds.
