“The purpose of this Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training is to provide the private citizens who complete this course with the basic skills that they will need to respond to their community's immediate needs in the aftermath of a disaster, when emergency services are not immediately available. By working together, CERTs can assist in saving lives and protecting property using the basic techniques in this course.”

Upcoming Conferences and Trainings
TEEN CERT is a training program that prepares youth to help themselves, their families, and their schools in the event of a disaster. During an incident, emergency service personnel may not be able to reach everyone right away. By being trained in Teen CERT, youth will have the skills to help save lives, and protect property. As a member of a Teen CERT team, youth can respond to disasters, participate in drills and exercises, and take additional training.
