PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
​
Out of an abundance of caution and in consideration of the recommendations from our local and state partners to limit non-essential public meetings for the purpose of slowing the spread of Covid-19, AV CERT has CANCELLED the AV CERT Basic CERT Training in Spanish course on March 14, 21, and 28.
​
AV CERT is part of the national framework of Homeland Security disaster preparedness & response with the goal, “To do the greatest good for the greatest amount of people”. AV CERT believes the cancellation of upcoming events and non-essential meetings, within the recommended safety timeframe of at least till the end of March, is in the best interest of our team, the members of the community we serve, and of local public health & safety resources. It is with genuine care that we are following official health & safety recommendations as a part of our social responsibility.
​
AV CERT appreciates the time of those who signed up for the AV CERT Basic CERT Training in Spanish course. It is regrettable we are unable to go ahead with the class at this time. AV CERT intends to reschedule the course at a future time. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to resuming our training schedule to serve the disaster preparedness training needs of our community.
