Do you know how to respond to an emergency? Or what to do in a disaster?
Join us for a FREE Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training program that educates citizens about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their community. It teaches basic disaster response skills such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.
During a disaster, emergency services personnel may be unable to reach everyone immediately. You can use the specialized training and skills that you learn as a CERT volunteer to assist local emergency responders when needed.
**Attendance is required on all dates in order to obtain certification.** Pre-registration required, Ages: 18+
