Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training is a program designed to prepare the communities of Crafton Hills College, the City of Yucaipa, and surrounding areas to help themselves, their families and neighbors. Training covers basic skills that are important to know in a disaster when emergency services are not available. CERT training is free to all.

• Training topics and skills include:
• Earthquake Awareness
• Fire Suppression
• Disaster Medical Operations
• First Aid/CPR
• Light Search & Rescue
• Team Organization & Management

CERT Training culminates with a disaster simulation and comprehensive course review. Classes will be taught by trained emergency personnel, including firefighters and emergency medical services personnel, with an emphasis on hands-on practice.

Following a disaster, CERT teams can extinguish small fires, turn off gas inlets to damaged homes, perform light search and rescue and render basic first aid.

Participants must attend all three (3) days of training to successfully complete the training.
