The Community Emergency Response Team is a program designed to train our community to work together during large scale disasters to assist their neighborhoods and surrounding areas.
Community participants are trained on disaster preparedness, how to cut off utilities, put out small fires, administer disaster first aid, safely search for and rescue victims, organize themselves, and collect disaster intelligence to support first responder efforts.
Interested participants can enroll in an initial on-line instructional course that can be accessed on a smart device or computer and can be completed at their own pace and convenience. The on-line course is then followed by available hands-on training sessions that demonstrate and reinforce the skills learned in the on-line training.
CERT training is free and available to any interested individual or group. You can take the hands-on training on your own, or team up with family, friends, neighbors, or any group wishing to be prepared for disaster. Community groups, church groups, schools, neighborhood watch groups, business formed teams, etc. are all encouraged to participate.
Please fill out our CERT Registration Form to sign up for CERT Training.
For additional information or if you are interested in CERT training for your group or organization, please contact Jeff Stark by email or phone at 615-862-4789.
