Plan & Prepare
Having a plan versus not having one could be the difference in how you make out and deal with a disaster. Now is the time to make sure you are prepared for a disaster. The devastation we see from the affects of Hurricane Helene should serve as a reminder that it can happen anywhere. Go to ready.gov or https://oceantwp.org/p/plan-prepare for information on how too create your plan as well as your Basic Disaster Supplies Kit.
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
Ocean has restarted our CERT team. We are recruiting members for our fourth basic class that will be starting in the fall. The class is around 20 hours and consists of a combination of classroom and practical sessions. The training will teach you basic skills that are important to know in a disaster when emergency services are not available. With training and practice, and by working as a team, you will be able to protect yourself and maximize your capability to help your community after a disaster.
The training is free, and we provide all the necessary materials. Once you complete the training you will have the option of joining the CERT for the township, though it is NOT required.
Registration is now open for our next class starts in October. If you would like more information or want to sign up, please click here.
