What is CERT (Community Emergency Response Team)?


CERT training is a program that teaches basic disaster management and response skills to prepare individual citizens and their families before a disaster strikes. The Department of Emergency Management sponsors the training and educates residents to ensure that the population has the best possible chance of surviving and recovering from a disaster. CERT trained individuals can better assist their families, neighbors, and communities until first responders can reach affected areas after a disaster.


What Will You Learn?
• Damage assessment
• Warning and notification
• Evacuation
• Identify and assist those with access and functional needs
• Emergency triage and first aid
• Search and rescue
• Preparedness
• Periodic reporting to City
• Suppress small fires
• Emergency utility control


Who Should Attend?


Anyone with a sense of community can become a part of CERT. If you become a CERT member, you will learn about important life-safety support techniques. You will, however, not be expected to place yourself in dangerous situations, either in the training or when a disaster strikes. Once you complete the training, you can join an existing team in the community or start your own, or use your skills to better prepare your family. A key factor for CERT teams is the ability to spontaneously organize and activate themselves in the event of a major disaster. If there is a significant disaster, phones and other communications channels may be interrupted. CERT teams will know where to go, how to organize their efforts, and will get to work without any specific order being issued. A CERT member's first responsibility is to themselves, their family, and finally their community.



For more information about this specific course delivery please contact Volunteer Service Coordinator Jeff Spencer at [email protected].



If you require special assistance, an auxiliary aid and/or service to participate in this CERT class (e.g. a sign language interpreter; interpreter for language other than English, access for a wheelchair, etc.), please contact Molly Pierce at 808-723-8960 or email your request to [email protected] at least five (5) working days prior to the event.
