Registration begins for Carson City Community Emergency Response Team Academy
The Community Emergency Response Team, also known as CERT, will host an academy to provide information for Carson City citizens on how to become prepared for a local emergency or disaster. Class time is 21 hours and includes light search and rescue, disaster medical operations and fire safety.
The training is designed to educate citizens to prepare for, respond to, and recover from an unplanned disastrous event that overwhelm the existing response capability.
After completion of the Academy there will be an opportunity to join a formal volunteer CERT group that is affiliated with a law enforcement agency or fire department. The training curriculum was developed and approved for the National CERT Program by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Homeland Security.
