Sept.23 to Nov 4th, CERT BASIC Class
Building Community Readiness
This fall, 22 community members have joined NEMCo’s CERT Basic Training course. The team meets every Wednesday for seven weeks, progressing through a structured curriculum that builds confidence and capability. Participants have already completed Unit 1: Introduction to CERT, Unit 2, and Medical Operations 1, gaining foundational knowledge in disaster preparedness, hazard recognition, and initial medical response. These early units introduce volunteers to CERT’s mission and the importance of coordinated, safe, and effective community action.
As training continues, volunteers will expand their hands‑on skills and prepare for the final practical exercises that bring all CERT disciplines together. Their commitment reflects the growing dedication to preparedness across the Northshore community.
