MONTHLY MEETING
Please take a minute and look through your CERT pack and try to think about what additional equipment you would like to have. Remember were in hurricane season now, have bottled water, medications you may need and extra food on hand that doesn't require cooking, flashlights, or lanterns and extra batteries. Nothing is more important then our team members safety. After a hurricane, once local officials give the "All Clear" be certain your family and home are safe first, then join the team at the Town Center, or if it's not assessable our alternate location, the Tennis Pavilion.
