Announcing a GACC CERT Spring Exercise

Join us on Thursday, April 23rd from 6pm to 8pm for a CERT exercise organized by the Greater Avenues Community Council CERT committee.  It will be at the SLC Sweet Branch Library (455 F St Salt Lake City). The exercise is open to all who are CERT trained and to those who are interested in becoming CERT trained.  Topics include a disaster first-aid refresher, an introduction to shelter mangement by the Red Cross, and a presentation on grab-and-go-bags.

Volunteering
——————————–

If you would like to hear about volunteer opportunities and events,
some related to emergency management, the Salt Lake City Office of
Emergency Management is encouraging volunteers to sign up with the
“Give Pulse” app.

There are two lists.  One is public
(https://www.givepulse.com/group/915921-Salt-Lake-City-Emergency-Management)
for events such as a stop-the-bleed classes, which are taking place
this month.  List membership is self-serve.

The other list
(https://www.givepulse.com/group/915929-Salt-Lake-City-CERT) is for
individuals who are CERT trained.  That one requires an account and
login.

Thanks,
