AQUINNAH COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM (CERT) NEEDS SHELTER VOLUNTEERS!

Volunteers Needed

We are all in this together. Let's all work to keep each other safe!

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, the Aquinnah first responders (Fire and Police Departments and EMS) stand at the ready to be of assistance.

If we lose power for an extended period, or if there is another long-term need, once it is safe for people to venture out onto the roads, the Aquinnah CERT team is prepared to open a warming shelter at the Town Hall.  If needed, a Red Cross overnight shelter will be opened at the Wampanoag Community Center.

We need your help. The Aquinnah Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is looking for people interested in helping at either the

warming shelter at the Aquinnah Town Hall

or the

overnight shelter at the Wampanoag Tribe Community Center.

Both shelters will require a number of volunteers for 3-hour shifts.

Training will be available for positions which include:

Greeters and Check-in folks

Health Screeners

Kitchen and food service

Communication services

Childcare assistance and activities

A meeting for all potential CERT volunteers will be:

Saturday, February 19th at 1:00pm at the Aquinnah Town Hall
