Page 6 THE VILLADOM TIMES IV • February 10, 2010 Mahwah American communities are giving top priority to the task of preparing for potential threats from acts of terrorism. In Mahwah, township residents are invited to participate in the Community Emergency Response Team training. This free course will be held at the Bergen County Law & Public Safety Institute in Mahwah beginning Feb. 24 at 7 p.m. Sessions will run for eight consecutive Wednesday nights. At the completion of the program, basic CERT safety equipment will be issued to each successful participant. Class size is limited, so immediate registration is encouraged to ensure a place in class. Mahwah residents should contact CERT Coordinator Allan Becker at (201) 9601932 or e-mail mahwahcert@optonline. net for an application or additional information. Details are also available online at Free CERT training to begin February 24 www.mahwahcert.org. In any emergency, local responders are the first line of defense. Following a major disaster, first responders who provide emergency services will not be able to meet the demands placed upon them. Factors such as the number of victims, communication failures, and roadblocks may prevent people from accessing the type of services they have come to expect at a moment’s notice through 911. People will have to rely on each other for help to meet their immediate needs until professional emergency responders can reach them. CERT provides residents with basic training on what to do before, during, and after a disaster. The training also aids participants in protecting themselves and their families during emergencies. In addition to being ready for any emergency, the Mahwah CERT team has been actively helping the community for many years by handling traffic and pedestrian flow at Mahwah Day, assisting with traffic control and car parking at the Ramapo College graduation, and had major responsibility at the recent H1N1 Swine Flu vaccination clinics.
