CERT Program Overview:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is free to anyone, students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community members. WOU CERT membership welcomes professionals from any of our community partners, Ham Radio groups, Neighborhood Associations, and any concerned resident interested in becoming certified by successfully completing the CERT Training. \u00a0You must be 18 years or older to attend, but 16 year olds may attend if accompanied by an adult.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program helps train people to be better prepared to respond to emergency situations in their communities. When emergencies happen, CERT members can give critical support to first responders, provide immediate assistance to victims, and organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site. CERT members can also help with non-emergency projects that help improve the safety of the community.<\/p>\n
