Cert Description
Currently the Pacific Grove Fire Department teaches the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program. The CERT program is designed to help prepare yourself, your family, and your community in the event of a major catastrophic disaster. The primary focus of the course is safety and being self prepared in the event of large scale emergencies. The twenty hour CERT course covers topics in disaster preparedness, light search and rescue, hazerdous materials, terrorism, disaster first aid, fire suppression, and extinguisher use. Individuals within the community taking the CERT class upon completion will be able to effectively multi-task and mitigate situations while working as a multifunctional response team. The CERT course is offered free of charge to anyone, and is sponsored by the Monterey County Office Of Emergency Services, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Department of Homeland Security. The Pacific Grove Fire Department is currently the CERT project manager for the Monterey County Operational Area. Departments participating in the CERT program include Carmel Fire Department, Carmel Valley Fire District, Carmel Highlands - CDF, Seaside Fire Department, and Monterey Fire Department.
