 COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM TRAINING



CERT MOTTO:
"DOING THE GREATEST GOOD FOR THE GREATEST NUMBER OF PEOPLE"

The CERT Basic Training includes research-validated guidance for CERT programs to teach members what to do before, during and after the hazards their communities may face.

If a disastrous event overwhelms or delays the community's professional response, CERT members can assist others by applying the basic response and organizational skills they learned during training. These skills can help save and sustain lives following a disaster until help arrives. CERT skills also apply to daily emergencies and builds resiliency in the communities.
