C.E.R.T. - Community Emergency Response Team.
LA County Fire Department offers free, FEMA-approved 20-hour CERT training to the communities we serve. Classes are taught by trained emergency personnel, including firefighters and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel. Through this training, residents learn about hazards that may impact their area as well as basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Upon completion of the course, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.
It is important to note that CERT volunteers do not work for LA County Fire Department. Instead, volunteers are registered with their respective cities, unincorporated areas or local law enforcement agencies. In the event of an emergency, some volunteers become part of the disaster plan for local authorities.
