CERT Emergency Training Class

Get prepared & help your neighborhood be stronger, safer & more resilient by participating in a CERT training.

CERT (Community Emergency Response Training) provides you with the knowledge & practical skills to respond quickly & effectively and help your neighbors immediately following a disaster. It’s likely that police & fire will not be able to arrive quickly in a real disaster, and you will need to know how to:

  • turn off your utilities
  • extinguish small fires
  • administer first aid & disaster medicine relief
  • conduct light search & rescue
  • generally help organize your neighbors

Please contact Karina Tindol with the Albany Police & Fire Departments if you are interested. You MUST register for the course through her if you want to participate.
