I understand most teachers should be CPR certified, but that just doesn’t cut it. — Concerned, Heber Thu, 23 May 2013 23:27:00 PDT By IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS STAFF http://www.ivpressonline.com/ivp-our-view-latest-disaster-felt-strongly-in-valley-20130523,0,2068387.story?track=rss Imperial Valley residents are particularly attuned to helping victims of natural disasters.
