Free CERT Training!

A disaster survivor with faux moulage injuries receives medical treatment at a Disaster Simulation Practice Station during the Teen CERT training at Escambia High School on May 6, 2012.

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people on preparing for and responding to disasters that may impact their area.  Participants receive 21 hours of training in disaster preparedness, fire safety and suppression, light search and rescue, disaster medical operations, terrorism, disaster psychology and team organization. Using what they’ve learned in the classroom and during practice exercises, CERT members can prepare and protect their families and provide assistance in their neighborhood, school or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.  For more info, go to CERT or Teen CERT on the national Citizen Corps website.
