Being prepared in case of a disaster is not just having supplies on hand. A big key is to have skills to take care of yourself, family and neighbors when emergency responders may be delayed.
Learn how to stay safe and what you can do to help in an emergency without becoming part of the emergency.
As of January 2011 FEMA and Citizens Corps have updated the training information for the Community Emergency Response Team program including a new CERT manual.
Even if you have taken the course in the past, it is recommended to retake the course to learn the new information and to stay up to date on your CERT skills. |
