Chester County Courthouse Glows Green in Eagles Tribute

WEST CHESTER, PA — Chester County is preparing to celebrate the Philadelphia Eagles’ quest for the NFC Championship by bathing its historic courthouse in green. The special lighting, planned for the weekend, aims to boost community morale and highlight local enthusiasm for the team. County officials hope that illuminating a local landmark in the Eagles’ signature color will unite residents and underscore the area’s steadfast support of Philadelphia sports. Residents are encouraged to visit the courthouse and share in the excitement as game day approaches.

Basic CERT Program Prepares Residents for Disaster Response

COATESVILLE, PA — Chester County’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is designed to help residents become better prepared for emergencies. The training runs from late March through early June and features both online modules and in-person sessions covering essential response skills. Topics include disaster preparedness, CERT organization, and fire safety, all of which are reinforced through practical demonstrations. Attendees who complete the entire program will participate in a final exercise in June that simulates a real-world emergency scenario, offering them an opportunity to practice their newly acquired skills. Upon finishing the course, participants receive an official certificate acknowledging their competency to support their families, neighbors, and community when disaster strikes. More info online
