    ENCINO PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE ORGANIZES CERT CLASSES


    ENCINO, CA---The Public Safety Committee of the Encino Neighborhood Council
    has partnered with the Los Angeles Fire Department to sponsor Community
    Emergency Response Team (CERT) classes. CERT is a disaster preparedness
    program designed to help protect individuals, families, as well as
    neighbors, in crisis situations when emergency services become overwhelmed
    and cannot arrive in time.

    Encino Neighborhood Council Public Safety Representative, Tonya Barseghian,
    organized CERT, which is offered to the public free of charge. CERT teaches
    emergency skills and trains for hazards including fire safety, search and
    rescue team organization, and disaster medical operations. Trainees who
    graduate earn a Certificate of Completion, along with an emergency survival
    kit free of charge.

    "The responsibility for preparedness lies within each individual. The
    Public Safety Committee encourages all members of the community to take
    advantage of this informative and valuable opportunity," notes Barseghian.

    "We commend Tonya Barseghian on the significant work she continues to carry
    out during her tenure as Public Safety Representative. It is always
    encouraging to see Armenian Americans make such a positive difference in the
    general welfare of their communities, such as Encino," remarked Armenian
    National Committee of the San Fernando Valley-West Executive Member, Shant
    Hagopian.
    CERT training classes are being held on the following Tuesdays: March 9,
    March 16, March 23, March 30, April 6, April 13, and April 20, from 6:30
    p.m. to 9:30 pm., at the First Presbyterian Church of Encino, located at
    4963 Balboa Blvd., in Encino. For registration and additional information,
    please email Tonya Barseghian at [email protected] or call (818)
    817-6998.

    The Armenian National Committee of the San Fernando Valley-West advances the
    social, economic, cultural, and political rights of the area's Armenian
    American community and promotes increased Armenian American civic
    participation at the grassroots and public policy levels.
