There is a new class @ Portland State University that will prepare you for any emergency. Its a 4-week class starting June 26th, called UPA 199/399
Start your summer by learning how to prepare yourself to assist others during a natural disaster like a major earthquake. Our instructors, including local firefighters with emergency response experience, are offering this four-week course in a special format with intensive training in the first week.
Students who successfully complete this course will receive a certificate and substantially fulfill the requirements for joining a local Community Emergency Response Team including the Neighborhood Emergency Team Program organized by the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management.
Students of all abilities and backgrounds are encouraged to enroll!
