A Blaine emergency preparedness group is inviting the public to learn how it can assist during a disaster during its Blaine Safety Fair 2-4:30 p.m. Saturday, October 4 at the Blaine Community/Senior Center.
The fair, organized by the Blaine Emergency Response Team (BERT), will include instructions on life-saving first aid, moving the injured, creating an emergency “go bag” and extinguishing fires.
BERT is a group of Blaine volunteers who have received community emergency response training to assist first responders during a catastrophe, such as a tsunami or earthquake. The group encourages new members.
For more information on the group or event, contact Cataline Harkleroad at catynwine@gmail.com or 925/997-0928.
The Blaine Community/Senior Center is located at 763 G Street.
