CERT Basic Training
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program provides essential disaster preparedness training for volunteers, equipping them with the knowledge to handle hazards that may arise in their communities.
As part of this volunteer training program, CERT educates individuals in fundamental disaster response skills, including:
- Fire Safety

The CERT program ensures a standardized, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization, enabling professional responders to rely on these skilled volunteers during disaster situations and focus on more complex tasks.
