About Us

What is CERT?

Each year, East Idaho may be rocked by severe weather, winter storms, floods or flash floods, or by man-made disasters. The damage caused by a disaster affects everyone. Disasters can severely restrict and overwhelm emergency response resources, communications, transportation, and utilities; and leave individuals and neighborhoods cut off from outside emergency support.

Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) are trained to take care of themselves and then help others in their communities for the first three days following a disaster.


The CERT program is a nationally recognized program (www.ready.gov/cert). CERT seeks to educate people about disaster preparedness and trains them in basic disaster response skills.  

Classes

Typically there are several free academies offered each year. To sign up email your contact information to  cert@easternidahocert.org.

  • Family and Personal Preparedness
  • Emergency Medical Operations
  • Light Search and Rescue
  • FEMA Incident Command Structure
