Supervisor Steve Bennett’s office is presently registering Ojai Valley and North Coast residents for Community Emergency Response Training (CERT). This 7-week course, sponsored by the Ventura County Fire Department, covers basic skills that are important to know in a disaster when emergency services are not available. CERT participants receive training, practice and learn how to work as a team in their neighborhoods. No prior experience or training is necessary, and there is no fee for the program. Classes will be held in the multi-purpose room at the Oak View Park and Resource Center, 555 Mahoney, Oak View commencing Wednesday September 22nd and proceeding for the next 6 weeks. Make-up classes are available in the West County if your schedule precludes you from attending all the classes in the Ojai area. Thank you for making the Ojai Valley a safer place to call home.
