The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is a nationally supported, locally implemented initiative that teaches people how to better prepare themselves for hazards that may affect their communities. CERT trains them in basic disaster response skills such as team organization, disaster medical operations, fire safety, and light search and rescue. Local CERT programs train and organize teams of volunteers to assist their families, neighbors, co-workers, and other community members during emergencies when professional responders may not be immediately available to help. The ability of CERT volunteers to perform these activities frees up professional responders to focus their efforts on more complex, essential, and critical tasks. CERT volunteers also support their communities by organizing, promoting, and participating in emergency preparedness events, activities, and projects.
By completing this application in its entirety, you will help the instruction team understand the general profile of the class they are teaching. Some questions are required but do not answer any question (not required) that you are not comfortable completing.
Submitting an application does not guarantee admittance to the next scheduled class, but it does assure that your interest is recorded (and you will be notified of the next available class).
Palm Beach County and Palm Beach State College will provide you with the materials you need to complete this training, but do not cover the cost of any additional equipment you may wish to have on hand in the event of a major disaster such as a hurricane.
