CERT Training of Trainers

SYNOPSIS:
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program CERT training promotes a partnering effort between emergency services and the people that they serve. The goal is for the emergency personnel to train members of neighborhoods, community organizations, or workplaces in basic response skills. CERT members are then integrated into the emergency response capability for their area.
