FC CERT volunteers: Be sure to bring your CERT pack to the VRC training and drill. Treat this as a drill. CERT volunteers wear their vests and CERT shirts. COSI is one of the biggest VRC locations in Franklin County. Pay attention to the set-up and operation of the VRC. This training and drill should give CERT volunteers an idea of what it will be like to go through a VRC. We would like you to join us no matter if you have yet to take the CERT Basic Training or any volunteer training. We would like you to be at the training even if you are a little late.
