A class in disaster preparedness is being offered at Iowa State University for the first time this fall to ready students for everything from severe weather to hazardous materials spills. I-S-U’s emergency manager Clayton Oliver is teaching the course to students in the Honors Program who need to pass special classes as part of their requirements to graduate with honors.
The seminar is built around Community Emergency Response Team, or CERT, training. Which is a great chance to remind you that the CERT training in Marshall County begins in January. The deadline to register is December 10th, so if this kind of volunteering interests you, reach out to Kim Elder at Marshall County Emergency Management.
