A disaster preparedness course will be held entirely in Spanish on Friday, Nov. 14 and Saturday, Nov. 15 at Sunrise Church, 2759 Ayala Drive in Rialto.
The 12-hour course, “Listos” is free and provides participants with instruction on personal preparedness, utility control, portable fire extinguisher use, and basic first-aid techniques.
The Nov. 14 class is from 6 to 9 p.m. and the Nov. 15 class is from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The course is available through a partnership with the Rialto Community Emergency Response Team in partnership with San Bernardino County Fire Office of Emergency Services.
With almost 25 percent of the County’s population speaking Spanish as their primary language at home, it makes sense to provide disaster preparedness training in a culturally-relevant format.
The first ever Listos course was conducted last week at San Bernardino County Fire Station 72 in Fontana.
