Local CERT organizations join forces on free dental clinic
A free dental clinic for area residents who are at least 18 years of age will be coming to 266 Harristown Road in Glen Rock on Nov. 13 thanks to the cooperation of the Community Emergency Response Teams in Glen Rock and Ho-Ho-Kus. Stan Kober, Ho-Ho-Kus CERT program manager, announced the event last week. The clinic will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and will include a blood drive that will be held between the hours of 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. “We’ll provide traffic and pedestrian control and handle the administrative details, including logging people in,” Kober said of the Ho-Ho-Kus group’s involvement. He said the two local CERT organizations will be working with local dentists who will provide their professional services on a volunteer basis through Dentistry with a Heart, a national organization. Kober said event organizers expect a turnout of approximately 100 people. Those who attend may choose one cleaning, one tooth extraction, or one filling. The participating dentists will be able to take X-rays, if necessary. Two oral surgeons and two dentists will be on hand throughout the day, and a doctor will be available to take patients’ blood pressure and provide other related services, Kober said. He added that this event is for everyone, not just Glen Rock residents. Asked where people would park for the dental clinic, Kober indicated that there are a few hundred parking places are available in the parking lot at 266 Harristown Road, which is located at the corner of Maple Avenue. The CERT program is part of the Citizen Corps Program and was developed in California in 1985 so trained community members would be available to assist others in the event of a widespread emergency. Team members are trained in disaster survival and basic first aid so they are able to help themselves, their families, neighbors, and other members of the community until emergency personnel can arrive on the scene. Among their many responsibilities, CERT members search for lost or kidnapped individuals, promote community awareness of hazards and preparedness measures, assist in evacuations and traffic control, staff emergency operations centers and shelters, provide first aid, and assist with search and rescue operations. CERT training classes, which are paid for through federal taxes, consist of eight sessions (a total of 20-24 hours) that are provided at the Bergen County Law & Public Safety Institute in Mahwah. The courses are taught by emergency responders, including firefighters, emergency medical, and law enforcement personnel. J. CRUSCO
