Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training
Preparedness is the key to survival in a disaster!
Check here for a description of our various CERT courses. San Rafael CERT educates people about disaster preparedness and the need to take care of themselves in their own neighborhood. This program prepares you to take care of yourself because emergency personnel will not be able to help everyone immediately. In the event of a disaster the professionals will be overwhelmed; this program will give you the tools and the education to help yourself. San Rafael CERT covers basic skills that are important to know when a disaster strikes. You will learn to work as a team member and you will be able to do the greatest good for the greatest number after a disaster, while protecting yourself from becoming a victim. Community-based preparedness planning allows us to prepare for and respond to anticipated disruptions. Neighborhood preparedness will enhance the ability of individuals and neighborhoods to prepare for a disaster. Once complete CERT session covers the following: Included with your $100.00 registration is a CERT response kit with supplies such as: a helmet, CERT vest, goggles, gloves, a flashlight, poncho, emergency blankets, duct tape, light sticks, utilities wrench, first aid kit, emergency water, triage tags and more.
