Item 6 CERT
Salt Lake City is interested in finding representatives throughout the City interested in participating in the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) efforts. The CERT program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area, and train them in basic disaster response skills such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. CERT is a fantastic way to be involved and helpful in your community. You can sigh up for CERT training courses http://apps.slcgov.com/general/absolutefp/CERTForm.htm

Item 7 Snow Removal
Now that winter weather has arrived, please remember to look out for your neighbors and help clear snow if you are able. Salt Lake City’s newly adopted snow removal ordinance requires snow, hail, and sleet to be removed from City sidewalks within 24 hours of a storm’s ending. There are many in our community who could use assistance in clearing their walks.
