**EXPIRED POST**
The National Weather Service in Birmingham has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Jefferson County valid untill 3:45PM

These storms could produce 60+ MPH winds and knock down trees and powerlines.

Jefferson County EMA is proud to be conducting two CERT classes in Homewood in collaboration with the Catholic Diocese of Birmingham and Homewood Fire Department

We are especially proud to share that one of these CERT classes is made up entirely of Spanish-speaking participants, helping us expand preparedness training and meaningfully reach more members of our community.

Classes begin June 20 at Catholic Social Services on Oxmoor Road. Seats are still available in both the Spanish- and English-speaking classes. This is a great opportunity to learn practical emergency preparedness skills, support your community, and be better prepared to help when it matters most.

La Agencia de Manejo de Emergencias del Condado de Jefferson se enorgullece de llevar a cabo dos clases CERT en Homewood, en colaboración con la Diócesis Católica de Birmingham y el Departamento de Bomberos de Homewood.

Nos complace especialmente informar que una de estas clases CERT está conformada en su totalidad por participantes de habla hispana, lo que nos permite ampliar la capacitación en preparación para emergencias y llegar de manera significativa a más miembros de nuestra comunidad.

Las clases comienzan el 20 de junio en Catholic Social Services, en Oxmoor Road. Todavía hay espacios disponibles tanto en la clase en español como en la clase en inglés. Esta es una excelente oportunidad para aprender habilidades prácticas de preparación ante emergencias, apoyar a su comunidad y estar mejor preparado para ayudar cuando más se necesite.
