Course Description:
The Basic Training Course has been updated to include guidance for emerging types of emergency response, individual and community hazards and to incorporate feedback from registered CERTs.
It features a revised Disaster Medical Operations section, updated Terrorism and CERT Organization section and new hazard-specific annexes.
The Basic Training Course Instructor Guide shares many best practices and tips on how to run a successful CERT training program.
To update the course materials, FEMA engaged with technical experts from colleges and universities, partners from within the government and FEMA learning and training subject matter experts.
The CERT Basic Training includes research-validated guidance for CERT programs to teach members what to do before, during and after the hazards their communities may face.
