Colonial Heights CERT

A Hybrid CERT training course is finally here, and we are excited to share it with you!

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness 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. Using the training learned in the classroom and during CERT exercises, members can assist their community or workplace following an emergency event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.

The course is FREE and you will receive a CERT manual in class and CERT kit upon course completion.

This free training includes an online lecture portion, a meet & greet, two (optional) hands on help classes, and an in-person, hands-on, practical portion.

Great opportunity to get rid of expired meds and get your old documents shredded. We will have CERT there assisting with this great community endeavor.

Do you have unwanted prescription medication you want to get rid of? 💊
Tired of pill bottles attacking you when you open up your medicine cabinet like the start of a bad infomercial? 🤕

Then please join us at our Drug Takeback Event on April 30th in the Goodwill parking lot from 10am-2pm! 💊📈
This event offers a safe way to dispose your unused/ expired medication and prevents the misuse of those medicines.

All you have to do is drive up, hand us your medication, and we’ll take it off your hands!
We will also have a shred truck on location if you want to get rid of personal documents.

We hope to see you all there! ☺️
