CERT CLASS CANCELED DUE TO HURRICANE FAY

Unbelievable.

Training for emergency responders had to be canceled due to an unexpected situation. Hurricane Fay.

This "lady" had a mild impact on our community. There did not appear to be any major damage to homes, but several trees were relocated.

Another loss was "students" missed coffee and cake.

FIRST CLASS

Town Hall will host training for approximately 25 residents who upon graduation will b certified CERT members. The classes are scheduled for the next six weeks.

The initial session had strong support from the county who supplied Collier's Emergency Management Coordinator.

The class also had "students" from across Collier Blvd at Lely Resorts.

COMMUNITY SEEDS CERT TEAM

It was that time of the year when hurricanes were on every one's mind. Residents of this community were concerned and eager to learn what they could do to protect themselves, and their property.

A seminar was held at the Town Center. A local new station sent in their meteorologist to give a real good "heads up" on what to watch for during a hurricane alert. That's Amanda Mc Donald from WINK TV

In addition the E. Naples Fire Department also made a very informative presentation regarding neighbors being the first line of defense in the event of an emergency. This presentation laid the ceeds for resident's volunteering to become members of their own C.E.R.T. team
