WHY TAKE THE CERT TRAINING? 

 

Well, it’s like paying for car insurance. You might never need it; in fact you hope you won’t. But if the occasion arises, having the CERT training, just like having car insurance, means you’re as ready as you can be to help yourself, your family and your neighborhood in an emergency situation.    

 

Class members receive 18 hours initial training. CERT is provided free of charge within the surrounding counties of Montgomery County, TN to anyone 18 and over.

 

Classes are taught twice a year, in the spring and fall. We will come to your location. Classes can be held anywhere in Montgomery County, TN. CERT members are trained in basic disaster response skills such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization and disaster medical operations. You will learn how to prepare for emergencies, what supplies you should have NOW have in your house, how much food, how much water but most importantly, how to protect your family in an emergency! 

 

It is important to know, if a major disaster occurs, the Montgomery County, TN paramedics, police…. Will be swamped and it could take hours or days before they are dispatched!  They will be deployed FIRST to major incidents such as collapsed buildings. That is why you constantly hear…. You MUST be prepared to take care of yourself. In the CERT course they say….
