CERT Training

IF A MAJOR DISASTER OCCURRED IN OUR COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW, WOULD
YOU KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND ASSIST OTHERS?

WHY: In the event of a large-scale disaster, the normal Emergency Response
Agencies that serve you will be overwhelmed and they might not be able to
assist you for up to 72 hours (it’s simply a supply and demand issue).
WHO: Sponsored by SLO County Fire Chiefs Assoc. and the SLO County

Sheriff’s Advisory Foundation.

WHAT: CERT is a “hands-on” course that teaches individuals to be better prepared
in the event of a major disaster and to form an effective neighborhood
teams to assist others. In the CERT training class you will learn about; how
and when to turn off your Utilities; Firefighting skills; Medical skills;
Hazardous Materials & Terrorism awareness; light Search and Rescue
techniques; and most importantly, you’ll learn SELF RELIANCE.
