The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services announces two community emergency safety courses.
Disaster and first aid preparedness courses developed in partnership with the Alpine Firefighters Association and Comstock Park Community Outreach.
Grand Rapids, MI August 14, 2012 – In an effort to prepare and educate the local community about the benefits of being prepared before an emergency happens, The Salvation Army, in cooperation with the Alpine Firefighters Association and Comstock Park Community Outreach, is offering two emergency safety courses on Saturday, September 8, 2012.
Preparing Your Home and Business for Disaster is designed for residents as well as businesses interested in implementing a disaster preparedness and response program. Medical First Aid is an adult CPR, AED and First Aid Core Training Program designed specifically for the occupational first aid provider.
“The time to prepare for a disaster isn’t after it occurs. That’s why these two courses are so vitally important – both from an educational perspective as well as from a preparedness one,” said Major Bob Mueller, Salvation Army Kent County Coordinator. “We are fortunate to be able to partner with the Alpine Firefighters Association and Comstock Park Community Outreach in offering these courses to the public. They are both outstanding organizations – the public’s time will be extremely well spent,” added Major Mueller.
