CERT volunteers have the opportunity to receive extensive disaster preparedness training at no charge as well as provide a meaningful, critical volunteer role in their community. CERT teams work in conjunction with state and federal level agencies in responding to and recovering from major disasters.  If you are interested in serving your community as a CERT volunteer, sign up for our CERT training. NOTE: CERT training is standardized so if you cannot attend a class with the program you are currently enrolled you can "make-up" the class with an alternate program in the Region. However, you must contact the CERT coordinator of each program and advise of the schedule change. Check our Event Calendar to see when CERT classes are being held.
