Event Details

Join us as members of the Community Emergency Response Team give a presentation on being Disaster Ready. In cases of some disasters, the safest thing for you and your family to do is stay inside.  Learn how to build your own shelter-in-place kit.

Recommended for ages 10+.

Local government prepares for everyday emergencies. However, during a disaster, the number and scope of incidents can overwhelm conventional emergency services. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is an all-risk, all-hazard training. This valuable course is designed to help you protect yourself, your family, your neighbors, and your neighborhood in an emergency situation.

CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens may initially be on their own and their actions can make a difference. While people will respond to others in need without the training, one goal of the CERT program is to help them do so effectively and efficiently without placing themselves in unnecessary danger.
