For Immediate Release
CITY OF NEWARK TO HOST FREE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS TRAINING
FOR RESIDENTS, NOW THROUGH NOVEMBER 19
Red Cross training will teach CPR, First Aid, Disaster Mass Care, and Shelter Operations;
Participants will learn about measures they can take to protect their families during disaster
Newark, NJ – October 24, 2011 – Mayor Cory A. Booker, Newark Emergency Management and Domestic Preparedness Director Keith Isaac, and Acting Child and Family Well-Being Director L’Tanya Williamson announced that the City of Newark’s Department of Child and Family Well-Being is offering a series of FREE Emergency Preparedness training courses for disaster response. The classes are going on now, and will continue through November 19. A list of sites, dates, and times are included at the end of this release.
“Natural disasters, fires, accidents, or terrorists can strike anywhere, at any time,” said Mayor Booker. “But when they happen, trained, motivated, and committed residents rise as one, united by love of their City, to manifest our city’s spiritual strength to face times of trial. I urge all residents toregisterand attend these important classes.”
The classes are organized into four subject areas: CPR and First Aid, Disaster Mass Care, Shelter Operations, and Shelter Simulation. The classes are being taught by the American Red Cross. They take place on weekdays and Saturdays. Pre-registration is encouraged.
“When the time to perform occurs, the time to prepare has passed,” said Director Williamson. “You never know when a disaster may occur, from snowstorms to hurricanes to earthquakes. The need for emergency preparedness has become an important presence in our daily lives. I strongly urge all residents to take advantage of this unique and timely opportunity, and be prepared when it comes time to perform.”
“This class will help our residents learn vital skills and to use important tools they may need to save their families and loved ones in time of disaster,” said Director Isaac. “It will make us a better-prepared city for the next crisis we face.”
“One of the many goals at the American Red Cross is to insure that both residents and businesses are ready when a disaster strikes. Whether natural or man-made, it is critical that we be ready when the time comes. This is our opportunity to reach out to the residents of Newark to help them protect not only themselves, but their loved ones as well. At the end of these courses they will not only be able to perform first aid, but will also know how to prepare for the next disaster. We may not always know when a disaster may strike, but we know that it will and we need to be ready,” said Ronald Dorrell, Regional Director for Emergency Response for the American Red Cross of Northern New Jersey.
To register for the classes, contact Tanya Fraser at the Department of Child and Family Well-Being, at fraserta@ci.newark.nj.us or by phone at (973) 733-7592.
For more information about all City of Newark programs and policies, contact the City’s Non-Emergency Call Center at (973) 733-4311.
