CERT: KNOW HOW TO HELP

A CERT trainee in every home, is the goal of the Community Emergency Response Team initiative of the Ministry of Local Government.

On Thursday, three groups from Barrackpore, Debe and San Fernando participated in a disaster simulation exercise to practise all that was taught.

The free course based on volunteerism, aims at equipping citizens with the knowledge and skills to appropriately respond in case of a disaster.
