City of Shoreline Office of Emergency Management will offer online CERT training

CERT training available in Shoreline

The City of Shoreline Office of Emergency Management will be offering Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training beginning on March 31, 2021.

CERT is a training program used nationwide to help communities prepare for and respond to disasters and is an integral part of the Ready Shoreline program.

While CERT training normally includes both lecture and hands-on training, this session will be offered as a hybrid course with lectures being provided online and practical demonstrations being offered at a later date.

The course consists of eight classes to be held one class per week on Tuesday evenings. Classes will start at 6:30pm.

Participants will receive training in the areas of disaster preparedness, fire suppression, disaster first aid, search and rescue, terrorism awareness and disaster psychology.

Class size is limited so register soon!
