Class 5 - Oct 6

I hope you enjoyed the demonstrations, information, and tours last night. Personally, I find the MRRJ tour to be sobering yet thought-provoking. I look forward to hearing your thoughts in class and through the feedback survey.

Some of you wanted more info about Pulsepoint, the app for citizens to respond to cardiac arrest incidents nearby: https://www.co.augusta.va.us/residents/public-safety/pulsepoint-app

Additionally, several asked about Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training. The free Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) fall basic training begins tomorrow. Classes are held each Thursday evening for 7 weeks (link to flyer). The training begins at 6:30 pm at the ACC building at 64 Sports Medicine Drive. If you are not available, register anyway if you want to receive emails for future trainings. Here is the CERT email for further questions: certsaw@gmail.com.
