Community Emergency Response Team Training

CERT Course offered through the Texas DPS and FEMA

The Texas Department of Public Safety and FEMA have been offering training over the years to communities to help them work together and help out in times of disaster. If you're interested in becoming a part of your local CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), no previous experience in emergency services is required. Participants should have an interest in such service and willingness to serve once trained.

As a part of CERT, responsibilities include:
-Disaster Preparedness
-Fire Suppression
-Disaster Medical Aid
-Light Rescue

Individuals with training and skills in these areas may be particularly useful as CERT members. There are no real age restrictions to this - any able body can be used somewhere.
