Event Details

About the CERT Basic Training Course

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Basic Training is an eight (8) session FEMA certified course on disaster preparedness.  It educates those of us living in South Santa Clara County about preparedness for hazards such as earthquakes, wildfires, floods and other emergencies and disasters that may impact our community.  It provides training in basic emergency response skills such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.

Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, you will be better prepared to assist your family, neighborhood, community and workplace following an event when professional responders may not immediately be available to help.

Graduates who have completed all courses are eligible to join the "Community Emergency Response Team" (CERT) that is deployed to provide complimentary assistance to professional emergency responders during emergencies. 

There is no requirement of physical fitness.  Youth aged 14 and up may attend with a parent or guardian but only those who are 18 and older can serve as Disaster Service Workers.

This CERT Basic Training is open to residents of Morgan Hill, San Martin, Gilroy and surrounding unincorporated Santa Clara County at no charge.

Morgan Hill & Gilroy CERT

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.

Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.
