CERT Basic Training Spring 2026
Become a registered Emergency Worker in WA state by taking the CERT Basic Training Course. Ages 14+
Are you ready?
In a large-scale emergency or disaster, professional emergency responders may well be stretched beyond their capacity. Fortunately, we have local citizens who are preparing to assist themselves and their neighbors by learning basic disaster response skills. Citizens train in skills such as personal emergency preparedness, disaster medical operations, basic fire suppression, disaster psychology, light search and rescue, and team organization.
Carnation Duvall Citizen Corps’ mission is to train citizens like you to support their communities before, during and after an emergency. Join us and become a responder. Graduates have the opportunity to become registered as temporary emergency workers who can aid in local and regional disaster responses. Citizen Corps volunteers can also assist with annual community events, participate in exercises to hone our skills and are always standing ready to help.
The class will be provided for free; donations are always welcome. If a class must be skipped, the lessons are taught in surrounding communities on different days so there are make-up opportunities.
