Rehoboth – The Rehoboth Emergency Management Agency (R.E.M.A.) is pleased to announce that it will be conducting a C.E.R.T. program thanks to a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Open to all residents of Rehoboth aged 16 years and older, the course will be held in the fall in twohour classes one night per week for ten weeks. Class sizes will be limited to 15-20 people, and materials will be supplied free of charge. The Community Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T.) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, C.E.R.T. members can assist R.E.M.A. in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. C.E.R.T. members are also encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community. To receive more information and to pre-register, citizens may contact R.E.M.A. by dialing 774-371-0017. Residents may also e-mail either Director William Maiorano (director@rehobothema. info) or Deputy Director Bud Fagundes (deputy@rehobothema. info). Citizens may also visit R.E.M.A. on Facebook or online at www.rehobothema.info.

Rehoboth Ambulance Committee Celebrates EMS Week
On Sunday, May 20, the Rehoboth Ambulance Committee held a showcase and open house outside of Vino’s restaurant on Route 44. The Committee offered tours of one of the Ambulances and held a trivia game that highlighted the history of the Rehoboth Ambulance Committee. In addition, members were on hand to distribute the File of Life to interested residents of the Town. This activity allowed the Ambulance Committee to raise awareness about EMS within the town, and the services provided by the Rehoboth Ambulance Committee.
