How do I take CERT training?

To become a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) member, you will have to take the CERT training from a sponsoring agency like an emergency management agency, fire department, or police department in the area where you live or work. Contact the local emergency manager where you live or work and ask about the education and training opportunities available to you. Let this person know about your interest in CERT.
