Hot Topics Around St. Louis County, Feb – March 2016

GMT Auto Sales reviews the latest news in St. Louis County

GMT Auto Sales, an auto dealer serving Hazelwood, Florissant and other communities highlights the hot topics of the month.

Hazelwood

Following a major disaster like an earthquake, tornado or terrorism attack, local first responders, who provide fire and medical services, may not be able to meet the demand for these services.

In the event of a tornado, terrorism attack, earthquake, or whatever, the Hazelwood Fire Department would not have the manpower to manage the crisis without additional support.

Deputy Fire Marshal Dale Harbison will be training Hazelwood residents to become a C.E.R.T. (Community Emergency Response Team) member to be prepared to cope with road closures, blockages and a host communication failures. Volunteers certified in the CERT program would help Hazelwood residents prepare, respond and cope through a natural disaster or community emergency.

Certification of the CERT program involves a course of study (20 hours of classroom and practical training) outlined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The course starts Feb 25, followed by other dates. Additional details, here:
