What would you do if disaster knocked at your door?

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training helps to educate the public regarding disaster preparedness for the hazards that may impact their area, and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety and suppression, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations, to name a few.

CERT Training

Learn how to be prepared, potentially save lives & work with others in your community to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people during a large-scale disaster. Upon completion of the 20 hour class, each student receives a CERT backpack with basic supplies to help get them started on their personal preparedness journey! Students must attend entire class to receive the backpack.

This entry-level, no-stress course is designed for everyone! You do not have to have an emergency response background to attend!

Class participants must be 18+ to attend; however, currently enrolled high school freshman or above students may attend the 20 hour class with a parent or guardian.
