The next CERT training takes place over 7 consecutive Thursday nights starting March 5, 2015. Class time each evening is 6:30-9:30.

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist their families and others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.

Emergency First-aid
Use of a fire extinguisher
