CERT trains volunteers in basic disaster response skills, such as:

• Fire safety
• Light search and rescue
• Team organization
• Disaster medical operations

Search for a local program, register your group and stay connected on the CERT website .

The CERT program offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks.

The materials in the training include:

• Instructor guides
• Participant manuals
• Hazard annex slide decks

Drills and Exercises

Drills are excellent opportunities for CERT programs to practice, assess and improve emergency response plans and on-the-ground operations while engaging their volunteers and refreshing the concepts and skills learned in CERT training.

These exercises were developed according to national guidance and principles outlined by the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program. It is important that CERT programs tailor their exercises to reflect realistic events that may impact their community to practice skills they need to test or practice most.

The CERT Liability Guide is offered for general informational purposes only, and is intended to educate CERT program managers, volunteers, sponsoring agencies, and legal advisors about liability and risk management.

Custom CERT Programs

In addition to the main CERT program, CERT offers programs customized for teens, as well as for workplace and campus-specific situations.

A Teen CERT can support a school’s emergency operations plan and assist emergency services personnel, thus providing valuable surge capacity to local first responders when needed.

On College Campuses

A Campus CERT program can support and enhance existing capabilities and CERT volunteers can participate in efforts to increase the preparedness and resilience of the on-campus community.

In the Workplace

A Workplace CERT program can support and enhance existing capabilities, and CERT volunteers can participate in efforts to increase the preparedness and resilience of the workplace and community.
