Want to see what your local Community Emergency Response Team can do? Then come out to the 2012 CERT Games at Sept. 15 to see Sierra Madre CERT face off against Altadena CERT in demonstrations of fire suppression, emergency communications and more.
Learn important lifesaving techniques while you’re there to be prepared for the next big earthquake, windstorm or other emergency.
If you have any interest in helping to support the event by being a "victim" to be rescued during a demonstration, contact Carolyn Seitz at cmseitz@mindspring.com. “Victims” will need to be at the park at 7:30 a.m., dressed in clothing they won't mind getting dirty or damaged.
