FREE Training – Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

April 24, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

When disaster calls – how will you respond?

The City of Tukwila Fire Department and Office of Emergency Management are offering the FEMA-sponsored Community Emergency Response Team training at no charge starting April 24, 2018!

Following a large scale emergency, professional responders may not be immediately available as they are tasked with multiple priorities. Through CERT training, individuals and organizations learn life-saving response skills to help each other until professionals arrive.

  • Hazard Identification & Disaster Preparedness
  • Response Team Organization and Communication
  • Fire Safety and Suppression
  • Light Search and Rescue
  • Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment
  • Disaster Medical Operations
  • Terrorism Awareness
  • Disaster Psychology and Emotional Impacts
  • Comprehensive Final Drill

Classes run each Tuesday, 6:00pm to 9:00pm for seven weeks, beginning April 24th. The Final drill and graduation are held on Saturday, June 9, from 8:00am to 12:00pm.

Participants must attend all classes and the drill in order to receive a certificate of completion.
