About this Event

As part of its ongoing efforts toward community-wide preparedness, the City of Malibu is offering the next round of the highly popular Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training. The series of six classes will be held on Tuesday evenings starting on September 16 through October 21 from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM at the Malibu Library, 23519 West Civic Center Way, with the CERT Final Class/Drill on Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM at Malibu City Hall, 23825 Stuart Ranch Road. When registering, you only need to register for the first class on the 16th in order to be registered for the series.


CERT is a highly-acclaimed, nationwide program that empowers community members to help themselves and their neighbors during disasters. Volunteers are trained in basic first aid, fire suppression, and search and rescue so that they can provide emergency assistance to their neighbors. Studies of past disasters such as earthquakes in Italy and Japan have shown that up that up to 90% of the people who were rescued from collapsed buildings were helped by local people before emergency services arrived.


CERT volunteers are a crucial part of the City’s ability to prepare and respond to disasters. During the Woolsey Fire, Malibu CERT volunteers contributed about 300 hours of service to the emergency response by distributing food and medical supplies, assisting with evacuations, and administering basic first aid.


In 2017, the City Council adopted the official CERT Program Guidelines, an important step in formally incorporating the program and the trained CERT volunteers into the City’s Emergency Management System. In addition to basic CERT training, the City’s CERT Team members must also complete Federal Emergency Manager Agency (FEMA) trainings, serve at least 30 volunteer hours per year, attend regular meetings and drills, and become registered as Disaster Service Workers.
