CERT Training
Community Emergency Response Team
City of Ingleside – Office of Emergency Management
Office of Emergency Management (OEM) provides planning, training, exercises, and educational outreach programs related to natural and man-made disasters to assist and prepare citizens, government agencies, and private/non-profit organizations prior to, during and after a local emergency or disaster.
Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) – The course is approximately 40 hours of hands-on training for individuals to learn more in-depth skills in order to be self-sufficient prior to, during and after a disaster occurs. Individuals will learn skills in team building, disaster psychology, terrorism, fire safety, disaster medical, light search and rescue and other information. The 10 week session will end with a simulated disaster exercise so participants can put their newly acquired skills to work.
Upon completion of all 10 weeks, individuals who make a commitment to Ingleside Fire Corps will receive a backpack with initial supplies to get them started with their individual planning efforts. Others will be given information on other local CERTs that are available.
