“We hope this first class will lead to increased participation in future classes by members of the Latino community,” said Norcott DEsterre, emergency management planner for Union County. “This bilingual CERT team will work alongside existing CERT teams in the county and will also be deployed to serve the Latino community in times of emergencies.”"
