Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program provides training to Alameda residents and employees of Alameda businesses to increase self-sufficiency in a disaster. Participants learn skills that will enable them to provide emergency assistance to their families and neighbors.

The course is taught in six class sessions:

• Personal Preparedness and Hazard Mitigation
• Disaster Medical 1 
• Disaster Medical 2 
• Fire Suppression / Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Awareness 
• Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Mitigation / Terrorism Response 
• Disaster Search Techniques & Completion Exercise
  

The CERT Class is held at the Fire Department Training Classroom at 431 Stardust Pl., Alameda Point (the old Navy Base), on the corner of West Midway and Rainbow Ct. in Alameda.

CERT courses are given four times throughout the year.  Click here to get the 2012 training schedule and registration form.
