What is the CERT Program?

The City of Beverly Hills Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) is designed to teach a person to help themselves, family and neighbors in a disaster situation. 

This training covers basic skills that are important to know when emergency services are not immediately available.  You can make a difference by using the training to save lives and protect property.  Emergency responders, emergency management personnel, and emergency trained volunteers provide training.  Program material covers earthquakes, fires, terrorism, hazardous incidents and other general life-threatening situations. 

This Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) certified course does not require previous emergency knowledge for participation. 

To sign up to become a member of the CERT program, please fill out and submit the CERT Application.
