| Cert Description |
| The Tribal Emergency Response Team program (T.E.R.T.) was developed in accordance to the CERT curriculum to assist with disaster preparedness of our tribal and neighboring communities. Our instructors are graduates of the Emergency Management Institute and have extensive training and experience in emergency services, which include firefighting, search and rescue, and medical care. The 20-hour TERT, includes lessons on Earthquake Awareness/ Preparedness, Fire Suppression, Light Search & Rescue, Disaster Medical Operations, Team Organization & Management, Terrorism, Basic First Aid and simulated training exercises. The curriculum was adapted from the CERT program that was developed by the Los Angeles City Fire Department and has been adopted by FEMA. The TERT members are trained to respond efficiently to assist with large-scale emergencies. TERT members are instructed to care for their family and neighbors and then report to incident staging area for an assignment. TERT members attend twenty hours of training sessions and are offered additional classes such as: CPR , EMT , Emergency Response to Terrorism, SEMS and other rescue courses. The TERT training is open to employees and tribal members free of charge and graduates receive certification along with basic rescue equipment.
