The City of Yonkers will be holding a class for residents to help them protect their families.
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a joint effort between the city, police and the Office of Emergency Management to teach residents how to plan for a disaster, how to respond to emergencies and how to help your neighbor and community during one.
The class will take place at the Yonkers police OEM Warehouse on Mondays from 7-9 p.m. and will run until January.
