Community Emergency Response Training (C.E.R.T).

If a disaster were to devastate your community and emergency resources are overwhelmed and help IS NOT on the way, are you prepared to care for yourself, your family and provide assistance to your neighbors?

• Do you know how to assess an emergency scene?
• Do you know what equipment you should have on hand to protect yourself?
• Do you know how to administer first aid and possibly save a life?
• Do you know how to prevent a minor situation from becoming a major one?
• Are you absolutely confident that you would be part of the solution?
• If you answered "no" to any of these questions then C.E.R.T. training is for you

What C.E.R.T. is:

• Training that is recommended by the President of the United States for every American adult.
• It is a program designed for ordinary citizens who would be willing to help members of their family and community during a major disaster.
• Provides training in BASIC emergency skills.
• Information that would reduce stress and confusion during a disaster.
• A program designed to make participants a valuable asset to their family and community during a disaster emergency.

What C.E.R.T. is not:

• It is not a replacement for your local emergency services.
• It does not qualify you to be a firefighter, police officer or EMT.
• You will not be called or activated during an emergency.
• It doesn't give you any specific authority.
