First Aid/CPR Training 7/28/18

Would you know what to do if a family member or neighbor had a medical emergency? The Mt. Washington Jessica Neighborhood, Inc. is sponsoring a First Aid/CPR class on Saturday, July 28 from 9am – 3:30pm at the Holy Virgin Mary Orthodox Coptic Church at 4900 Cleland Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90042.

Learn what to do in an emergency. Get certified for CERT level 2 or for Child Care positions or to support your “Map Your Neighborhood” block. You’ll learn what to do for everything from cuts and burns to cardiac and breathing emergencies.

The class will cost $50 in advance, $60 day of event (1/2 price if no certification requested). Instructor is Red Cross certified trainer. Prices are usually much higher. This is a great opportunity for our neighborhood.

MWJN Radio Practice 8/6 & 8/13

Radio Communications – CERT Drill 2014

Get Ready for the Drill on 8/19

FRS Radios – inexpensive battery operated walkie-talkies – are the perfect tool for disasters. We’ll be practicing on Sunday 8/6 and Sunday 8/13 from Noon – 4:00 PM.

We’re on Channel 13 if you want to test your radio – just call in. If you need help learning how to use the radio, come by 909 Oneonta Drive (near Olancha and 5 Points) for hands-on guidance either Sunday afternoon.

Don’t have a radio? We have some available for a suggested donation of $20 for one or $35 for a pair. A little more than Home Depot, but will Home Depot teach you how to use it?
