The City of Alameda Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) trains volunteers to respond in disaster situations. When disaster strikes, CERT members support first responders, assist victims and organize volunteers. CERT members also help with non-emergency projects that improve the safety of Alameda. Alameda's CERT courses are managed by the City of Alameda Fire Department and are taught by a trained team of first responders. CERT training includes disaster preparedness, fire suppression, basic medical operations and search and rescue. It's free to all residents. | How do I participate? Get involved!
