- EPSG Events are open to all SCA Residents, registration required -
A. General Emergency Preparedness Classes [registration required]
1. Hands-Only CPR & AED (60 min + Q&A)
(Small Class - *seats limited, registration required*)
With half-million cardiac arrests each year, CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) can help save a life if a person's breathing or heart stops. It's not just for healthcare workers and emergency responders. In fact, CPR can double or triple the chance of survival when bystanders take action.
This is a non-certification class with limited space.
Upcoming classes**:
- May 21 (Wednesday), 10-11am
- June 3 (Tuesday), 10-11am
More classes for 2025 will be announced in June.
All classes will be held at Anthem Center unless otherwise communicated.
*For registration - please email EPSG Training & Education for space confirmation.
**We can schedule a class at a time/day that works for you if you have 4-8 people. Please email the address above for such a request. Participants must be SCA Residents.
2. CERT - Community Emergency Response Training (16 hours spread over 2 days)
When a disaster or an emergency impacts a large area, professional first-responders are overwhelmed and may not each all affected areas for a while. The CERT Basic Training includes research-validated guidance to teach community members what to do before, during and after the hazards their communities may face, including hands-on practice on how to use a fire extinguisher, and conduct search and rescue in teams.
