Disaster Preparation Class Offered in Spanish (RESCHEDULED from 2/25/2023)
PASO ROBLES, CA – In the event of a major wildfire, earthquake or wide-spread flooding, emergency resources would immediately respond, but it is likely that they could be overwhelmed by the number of calls. If your home was threatened, or a family member injured, it might be hours before help could arrive. Parents could be at work, while children could be at school or involved in after school activities. Would your family know what to do?
The North San Luis Obispo County Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) program is sponsoring LISTOS, a class that teaches basic disaster response skills so you can safely help yourself and those around you. This 8-hour class is taught in Spanish and intended for the entire family, so children are welcome too. You will learn how to prepare for disasters, create a reunification and family communication plan, learn about disaster first aid and emotional support, how to back-up important documents, shut off utilities, and extinguish small fires.
The class will be presented in the White Oak Room at Centennial Park, 600 Nickerson Drive, in Paso Robles, on Saturday, March 25, 2023, from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm. This class is offered at no cost to students. To register, call Cecilia Herrera, at 805 539-5349, or email her at ceciliaherreraLISTOSmt@gmail.com
Take this course, and learn how to protect yourself, and your loved ones, assist your neighbors, and help your community when disaster strikes.
