Three cheers to Inna Stavitsky, Marcella Leff-Wong, Jeannette Negron, Christopher Brodacki, Erionexy Aviles, and Rosemary Fraser for successfully completing the intensive, 10-week training program offered by the Office of Emergency Management. The Community Emergency Response Team course is aimed to raise awareness about emergencies and disasters by providing basic skills needed for safety, disaster medical operations, traffic control, light search, and rescue missions.
The six grads will provide invaluable support to three of the Jewish Association Serving the Aging housing sites in Brighton Beach, Manhattan Beach, and Coney Island as well as supporting first responders in the event of an emergency.
According to the Emergency Management web site, “It is the hope that through the work and expertise these graduates, JASA can continue to be a trusted community resource for those who seek assistance.”
Standing O says, “It’s comforting to know that there are now six more volunteer heroes to assist our first responders.”
