Community Emergency Response Team Training

Community Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T.) is a FREE risk and hazard awareness training available to you through Whitfield County Emergency Management Agency. This valuable course is designed to help you protect yourself, your family and your immediate community in the event of a major situation in your neighborhood.
C.E.R.T. is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens may initially be on their own and their actions can and do make a difference. While people will respond to others in need without the training, one goal of the C.E.R.T. program is to help them do so effectively and efficiently without placing themselves in unnecessary danger, therefore minimizing ones the risk of bodily injury and simply becoming another victim.
You will receive training in the areas of: * Disaster Preparedness * Fire Safety * Medical Operations and Basic First Aid * Search & Rescue and much more...
