Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a national program by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that trains individuals in disaster preparedness and emergency response. The training is for anyone interested in helping others in times of emergency or disaster.
Basic CERT class sessions are held twice annually, once in the fall (Sept/Oct) and in the spring (Apr/May). Class size is limited to 20 people each session. These courses are open to Adults and Teens (age 15+). Classes take place one night a week for a total of 7 weeks. The first 6 weeks are class instruction with a simulated exercise on week 7. Each evening session runs from 6:00-9:00 pm.
