Free CERT Class offering in May

Practucal portion of fire safety module

Community emergency Response Team (CERT) training educates people about disaster preparedness for a variety of hazards. This is a two day (approximately 13 hours) program divided between class room and practical applications that educates people about disaster preparedness for a variety of hazards and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team cohesion, and disaster medical operations including a CPR/AED certification.

Using the training provided CERT members can assist others in their community or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members are also encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community. Once someone has taken a CERT class and ops in to our mailing list we keep them informed of upcoming volunteer and training opportunities within the area.
