Our LVH Community Em

Our LVH Community Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T.) is...

Rt

Still in training. They will graduate in January and begin serving the community and the City of Newport at that time. However, members are already building on what they have learned in training and want to hit the ground running so to speak. Today they held a meeting to ask for help from the Neighborhood Watch Block Captains. Neighborhood Watch has an excellent communications network in our community and would be of real value to CERT operations.

Ed Simon made a presentation based on the efforts of Lost Creek Community to organize their branch of CERT. Ideas were exchanged the members of the CERT team pointed out various problems that they will be asking help with.

Knowing the value of a web site as a communication tool for both members and community we have created a bare bones site to which we will be adding features to as they are suggested by both community and CERT team members.
