We are planning to do 2 CERT Basic Trainings every month for the remainder of our fiscal year ending on June 30th.  Our goal is to get as many folks as possible trained up and empowered.  Our focus this year will be to make sure everyone on our waitlist has had the opportunity to take it as well as a focus on other languages and vulnerable populations throughout San Jose.  If you have any ideas on how to reach as many folks as possible, we would love to hear them!

 

Big News! 

The Santa Clara County CERT Leadership Team (of which we are a part of) has planned a county-wide CERT Skills Day to help everyone keep their CERT skills current.  Please save the date — Saturday, January 21, 2023 — and sign up for the event!

Hi All,

 

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

We are excited to announce our next upcoming City of San Jose Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Basic Training!  As you know, the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a 20-hour all hazard training offered by the Office of Emergency (OEM) Department. The training is designed for residents to protect themselves, their family, their neighbors, and their neighborhood in an emergency situation.  During the training residents will learn: Disaster Preparedness, Fire Safety, Disaster Medical Operations and Triage, Light Search and Rescue, Team Organization, Disaster Psychology, Terrorism & the Incident Command.  Due to the pandemic, the CERT basic training is now being offered as a combination of online training and a one-day hands-on skills training. The online ZOOM training will be a bi-weekly class estimated to take 12-hours from July 5th – July 30th.

 

If you wouldn’t mind, please help us by sharing this link with your friends, family, and neighbors to help us continue to build a more resilient and empowered City of San Jose:
