FEMA Training for local community preparedness
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, using the model created by the Los Angeles City Fire Department, began promoting nationwide use of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) concept in 1994. Since then, CERTs have been established in hundreds of communities. CERT training promotes a partnering effort between emergency services and the people that they serve. The goal is for emergency personnel t train members of neighborhoods, community organizations, or workplaces in basics response skills. CERT members are then integrated into the emergency response capability for their area.

The first CERT team graduation was held September 17, 2005. The class lasted 8 weeks and participants were trained in various skills in case of a disastrous event. Each participant received certificates from FEMA upon completion. To learn more about CERT and the training the participants received you can visit the CERT web page.
