The CERT program trains participants on basic emergency response processes, including personal preparedness, fire safety, and basic first aid. CERT volunteers may be called upon by their host institution to engage during an emergency activation or to prepare for an event. Participants are required to attend all three days. There are no additional requirements for further participation unless you volunteer. You chose your involvement level!
