CERT Community Response Team

As Salaam Alaikum!

I pray all is well with you and your families. The Ministry Of Defense would like to offer

the Believers of the Mid-Atlantic Region CERT certification.  

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is a nationally supported, locally implemented initiative that teaches people how to better prepare themselves for hazards that may affect their communities. Since 1993, CERT trains the public in basic disaster response skills such as team organization, disaster medical operations, fire safety, and light search and rescue. The ability for CERT volunteers to perform these activities frees up professional responders to focus their efforts on more complex, essential, and critical tasks.

In order to set up a training session we would need at least 10 participants. The training is 20 hours and is broken down into two  8-hour sessions and one  4 - hour session. There are also some requirements that the MOD suggests that anyone interested in the training adhere to.  We are in the process of putting together dates for the training and will have more information once we have a count of interested participants.   You can learn more about CERT at About CERT | Ready.gov (fema.gov)

Thank you for your time and we look forward to hearing from everyone soon!
