ARE YOU PREPARED? Recent history has shown the need for neighborhoods, schools, and businesses to rely on themselves for a minimum of 7 days to 2 weeks following a major catastrophic event.

WHAT IS CERT? CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens will be initially on their own. Through training, citizens can manage utilities and put out small fires; treat the three “killers” by opening airways, controlling bleeding, and treating for shock; provide basic medical aid; search for and rescue victims safely; and organize themselves and spontaneous volunteers to be effective.

THE INSTRUCTION: The 20-hour course covers such topics as Introduction to Disaster Preparedness, First Aid, Light Search and Rescue, Fire Suppression, and Cribbing. Attendance at all three sessions is required. Only those who successfully complete the practical exercise will receive a Certificate of Completion and a free CERT kit.
