Introduction!!!
CERT training prepares you to help yourself, your family, and your neighbors during and in the aftermath of a catastrophic disaster. Emergency responders may not be able to assist everyone immediately and you can make a difference by applying the skills learned in this course to save lives, and preserve property. These are basic skills aimed at doing the greatest good for the greatest number of victims after a disaster, and preventing yourself from becoming a victim.
