Lancaster, CA.-The Los Angeles County Fire Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and Antelope Valley CERT will present this free training event.

Following a major disaster, police, fire and medical professionals may not be able to fully meet the demand. People will have to rely on each other to meet their immediate life saving and life sustaining needs, particularly in isolated neighborhoods that may be cutoff from main roads.

The County of Los Angeles Fire Department Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) program was developed through FEMA to provide basic training in safety and life saving skills for the general public.

The course curriculum covers the following modules:

• Emergency Preparedness

• CERT Organization

• Fire Safety

• Disaster Psychology

• Disaster Medical Operations

• Terrorism

• Light Search and Rescue Operations

• Disaster Simulation Exercise

  
  

The training course will be presented as a series of three Saturday classes on March 15th, 22nd and 29th, 2025 from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Water and snacks will be provided. You must attend all three sessions to get your certificate of completion.
