CERT Grows to 300
The Sequim's Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may impact our area and trains us in basic disaster response skills, including fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Our 15 teams are geographically based, so we are helping our own neighbors.
CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and an organizational structure that our local professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, allowing them to focus on tasks that are more complex.
Sequim's CERT program is sponsored Clallam County Fire District 3. Our area of response is designated by Clallam County as the Sequim Operational Area. We have 15 CERT Teams throughout the fire district's boundaries.
CERT training allows us to respond safely, responsibly, and effectively to emergency situations. Through hands-on practice and realistic exercises, CERT members learn how to safely respond to manmade and natural hazards, help organize basic disaster response and promote preparedness by hosting and participating in community events.
The CERT training consists of three 8-hour classes held on Saturdays. Even if you do not wish to join CERT, the training is invaluable, teaching you how to prepared for and survive a catastrophe event. After you are trained your local CERT captain will contact you regarding when and where your team meets for training .
Classes are FREE. Join Us!
