Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Spring 2019 Class


Thank you for your interest in the Spring 2019 CERT Course! The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) educates individuals about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact the City of Alexandria and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as damage assessment, extinguishing small fires, perform light search and rescue, triage, first aid, and how to provide much needed assistance in times of crisis!
