Would you like to be prepared to help your family, your neighbors, and your community during an emergency or disaster? You can learn hands-on skills by taking the FEMA Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) course and becoming certified to serve in times of need. Anyone of any physical ability can take the course and it is open to people from any city.
Through CERT training, you will learn techniques in fire suppression, search and rescue, disaster psychology, and disaster medical operations including triage techniques, patient assessment, and treating life-threatening injuries. The course concludes with a disaster simulation and drill. For a detailed schedule of session topics, please visit the City of Snoqualmie website at www.ci.snoqualmie.wa.us.
