To become a CERT member you must be at
least 18 years old and need to complete the 24-hour
basic training session. Typically the training includes
eight sessions, seven skill building sessions and a
final session that is a disaster simulation in which
participants are able to practice the skills they have
learned throughout the course. Training is offered free
of charge by the Sedgwick County Division of Public
Safety. Upon training completion, each CERT member will
receive a CERT backpack with various disaster response
materials.
CERT members maintain and refine their
skills by participating in refresher classes and
exercises. They can attend supplemental training
opportunities offered by the sponsoring agency and
others that further their skills base. In addition, CERT
members can help educate the public on disaster
preparedness, while also informing them about what CERT
is.
