Do you worry about ”the big one”? Have you wanted to prepare for an emergency of some kind? Do you have any emergency training or knowledge that you’d like to share?
Sunnyland has been chosen as the pilot neighborhood for a neighborhood-level approach to emergency preparedness, created by Doug Bestle, Whatcom CERT Program Manager of the county’s Division of Emergency Management, and Greg Hope, the city’s Education and Outreach Coordinator. If you’re interested in, concerned about, and/or trained in any aspect of emergencies, please come to our one-hour gathering on Thursday, June 6, at 6:00pm, at Sunnyland Park to learn about the different emergency preparedness programs and resources in our area. All neighbors are encouraged to attend; snacks, chairs, and shelter will be provided. If you’re CERT certified, we’d especially appreciate your attendance and input; our next step is to develop CERT cohorts by neighborhood. Sunnyland’s gathering and cohort will help guide this city-wide approach for other neighborhoods; we have a special opportunity to shape it in ways that will be most helpful for all!
For additional resources, the city and the county have online and print materials to help people be prepared at many levels for a variety of emergencies.
Reminder: SNA offers a tuition scholarship for anyone 18 or older interested in taking the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training!
