Mach 21, 2020, I decided to join the Fairfax County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Due to the COVID-19 in Virginia. They postponed the classroom training and went to online training with the University of Utah. Starting in August 2020 will be completing the hands-on training required to receive our certificate. Looking forward to that.
Completed my hands-on training with the Fairfax County CERT on August 29, 2020. The course was well done with excellent instructors, especially dilling with COVID-19 being the first class to go through. Looking forward to additional training in the near future.
