Important info...
Be prepared to help yourself, your family, your neighbors and your community in an emergency or disaster.
If you live in the Manassas Park, you are invited to become a member of the city’s Community Emergency Response Team. Citizens who attend and complete the training program will meet the criteria to assist and support first responders during and after a major emergency or disaster situation, as well as to ensure safety and welfare of spectators during events such as parades, fun runs and other community events.
Classes will be held on Tuesdays from 7:30 to 10 p.m., beginning Oct. 8.
The program includes eight weeks of classes and a final disaster simulation exercise on the Saturday after the last class.
There is no charge to take the classes, but a minimum level of participation is expected.
