Thank you for your interest in our Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program. Before, during, and after disasters, CERT volunteer teams perform basic response activities, including checking in on neighbors, distributing information to the public, supporting emergency operations centers, and helping to manage traffic and crowds. Local CERT programs train and organize teams of volunteers to assist their families, neighbors, co-workers, and other community members.
Registration is now open for our June, 2024 class. If interested in participating, please take a few minutes to fill out that application below. All applicants are subject to a background check. The training will take 8 weeks (1 day per week) to complete, and will cover the following topics:
