“Auburn will become the first city in King County to offer community emergency-response team (CERT) classes in Spanish.

Last month, the city received a $10,000 grant from the Department of Homeland Security through the King County Office of Emergency Management.

More than 100 people have graduated from the city’s CERT classes over the past year, and the grant will allow it to offer Spanish-speaking classes to residents of Auburn, Pacific and Algona through the White River Valley Citizen Corps Council.”
