San Pablo CERT - Training Flyer

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a training program that gives individuals the basic disaster response skills to offer vital support to their family, associates and neighborhood while awaiting help from first responders. San Pablo is fortunate to be able to host the CERT training in English and Spanish.  

This 20-hour FEMA approved course is offered in a classroom setting followed by hands-on exercises discussing the following topics:

• Disaster Preparedness
• Fire Safety and Utility Control
• Light Search & Rescue
• Team Organization
• Disaster Medical Operations: Triage, Assessment and Basic Treatment
• Disaster Psychology
• Terrorism and CERT

There is no cost to participate but the teaching techniques are geared toward adults so we ask that interested individuals be at least 16 years old. Priority registration will be given to those who live and/or work in the City of San Pablo.

Introduction to CERT IS-317 - An independent study course that serves as an introduction to CERT for those wanting to complete training or as a refresher for current team members.
