RESPONSE TEAM
When disaster calls - how will you respond?
The City of Tukwila Fire Department and Office of Emergency Management are offering the
FEMA- sponsored Community Emergency Response Team training at no charge starting
April 22, 2015!
Following a large scale emergency, professional responders may not be immediately
available as they are tasked with multiple priorities. Through CERT training, individuals
and organizations learn life - saving response skills to help each other until professionals
arrive.
CERT includes 21 hours of training, plus a simulated disaster drill. Topics include the
following:
• Hazard Identification & Disaster Preparedness
• Response Team Organization and Communication
• Fire Safety and Suppression
• Light Search and Rescue
• Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment
• Disaster Medical Operations
• Terrorism Awareness
• Disaster Psychology and Emotional Impacts
• Comprehensive Final Drill
Classes run each Wednesday, 6:OOpm to 9:OOpm for seven weeks. The Final drill and
graduation are held on Saturday, June 6, from 8:OOam to 12:OOpm. Participants must
attend all classes and the drill in order to receive a certificate of completion.
The next CERT class starts on Wednesday, April 22nd.
Cost: FREE!
