A CERT member's involvement during a disaster includes extinguishing small fires, providing disaster medical care, performing light search and rescue activities, providing rehabilitation and relief services and participating in communications. The CERT program helps train people to be better prepared to respond to emergency situations in their communities. Cities across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and across the country have formed CERTs. When emergencies happen, these teams give critical support to first responders, provide immediate assistance to victims, and organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site. CERT members can also help with non-emergency projects that help improve the safety of the community. For more information about the CERT program, contact Fire Marshal Stacy Singleton, 817-426-9174, or e-mail ssingleton@burlesontx.com. A CERT application can be obtained at Burleson City Hall and the Burleson Public Library, or you may download the PDF form from the City web site, www.burlesontx.com. | |||

The City of Burleson’s emergency management division, the Burleson Independent School District (BISD) and Tarrant County Public Health (TCPH) are teaming up to provide H1N1 vaccinations to the public.
The vaccinations are free. They will be administered on a first-come, first serve basis. The shots are available to everyone, including the elderly, who did not have access to the vaccine when it was first released. Children must be accompanied by a parent. Children must be at least 6 months old to receive the vaccine. TCPH officials will have both nasal vaccines and vaccine injections. You are not required to bring any medical records to the vaccination clinic, but will be asked to fill out forms supplied by the TCPH.
You do not have to be a Burleson resident to take part in the vaccination clinic. TCPH is supplying the free vaccines, the BISD is providing the location, and the City is providing police officers for crowd control and fire fighters to help watch and assess patients after the vaccinations are administered.
