The Georgia Tech Police Department Office of Emergency Preparedness will be hosting a CERT class consisting of 6 classroom sessions and a drill on the following Thursdays in June and July.  Keep in mind that all classes and the drill must be attended.  CERT training is free to attend.  As part of training, you will receive a CERT bag with equipment to keep after the drill.
