National Hybrid CERT Director
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates people about disaster preparedness and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.
Online CERT is developed to provide the FEMA standardized 2019 curriculum to learners across the United States, meeting the lecture portion of the CERT training requirements. Once completed, you just follow up with your local CERT Coordinator to complete the hands-on practical portion and receive your full CERT credentials.
Hybrid CERT is partnered with the National CERT Association, California Governors Offices of Emergency Services (CalOES), Listos California, and the Utah Division of Emergency Management.
