The Springfield-Greene County Office of Emergency Management hosts CERT training courses to members of the public interested in taking care of themselves and their families during disasters and/or becoming a CERT volunteer. During training, participants will learn the basic disaster preparedness skills both in the classroom and in the field. Course curriculum includes:
- Fire Safety
- Light search and rescue
- Disaster Psychology
- Team organization
- Disaster medical operations
Training concludes with class participants responding to a simulated disaster to practice the skills they have learned.
Our next CERT Basic Academy class is a hybrid-style course with some virtual lessons combined with seated classes and practical exercises.
Our Fall Academy will be October 17th and 24th, and you can register here.
If you have any questions, please reach out to our CERT program manager, Ronnie Bell, at [email protected].
