The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a nationally recognized Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) program that covers the topics of disaster preparedness, fire safety and suppression, disaster medical treatment, search and rescue, the Incident Command System, disaster psychology, and terrorism. Students enrolled in CERT will learn and master the skills of disaster medical treatment, fire suppression, triage, light search and rescue, and cribbing. Students successfully demonstrating the knowledge and skills of CERT will earn a FEMA certification. CERT is a skills based course ideal for students who prefer hands-on learning; throughout the semester students learn about emergency response equipment to build their own emergency response pack. In addition, students will participate in first aid training, CPR, AED (certification upon demonstration of knowledge and skills), radio communications, active shooter training, and other emergency response skills.
