The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during CERT exercises, members can assist their community or workplace following an emergency event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.
Please obtain approval before signing up for the Beta Testing.
The course is FREE and you will receive a CERT manual in class and CERT kit upon course completion. (N/A for Beta testing of online only course)
