A. General Emergency Preparedness Classes [registration required]

       1. Hands-Only CPR & AED (60 min + Q&A)

           Small Class with hands-on practice.  *seats limited, registration required*  (This is a non-certification class)

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.

Upcoming classes**:

• May 14 (Wednesday), 2-3pm

                   More classes for 2025 will be announced in May.

All classes will be held at Anthem Center unless otherwise communicated.

  *For registration - please email EPSG Training & Education Space confirmation required to attend.

**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.

Upcoming Classes at SCA:

• Option 1: March 29-30 (Saturday-Sunday) 8am-5pm (both days) - Complete
• Option 2: October 18-19 (Saturday-Sunday) 8am-5pm (both days)
