One reservation is needed per person. Reservations only need to be made for the first day, allowing you access to all three training days.***

The San Bernardino County Office of Emergency Services and California State University San Bernardino invite you to participate in free CERT Basic Training. CERT educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may impact their area and trains volunteers in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks. CERT volunteers also support the emergency management mission of whole community preparedness, public outreach, and preparation before, during, and after a disaster. This 20-hour free training will take place over three days.
