Thirty Lamorinda area students recently completed emergency preparedness training as Community Emergency Response Team members.

Their final was a hands-on practice at Moraga-Orinda Fire District station 45 in Orinda involving fire suppression, first aid, victim extrication and search and rescue. Lamorinda CERT program manager Duncan Seibert says CERT training expands to nine weeks beginning with the next series starting Jan. 10 at the Lafayette Community Center.

The January class series will be the last series offered at no charge. Beginning Spring 2017 Lamorinda CERT students pay a $25 registration fee; however students who attend the first four classes will receive a medical supply kit valued at $25.

"This is not a first aid kit but much more specifically a CERT medical kit," Seibert says. To register for January classes, go to http://classes.lamorindacert.org.
