The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program helps train people to be better prepared to respond to emergency situations in their communities.
In an emergency, CERT members can give critical support to first responders, provide immediate assistance to victims, and organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site. CERT members can also help with non-emergency projects that help improve the safety of the community.
The CERT course is taught in Calhoun County by a trained team of first responders who have completed a CERT Train-the-Trainer course conducted by the Alabama Emergency Management Agency.
CERT training includes disaster preparedness, disaster fire suppression, basic disaster medical operations, and light search and rescue operations. Target groups to receive CERT training include: Community Watch, emergency communications & transportation groups, local businesses, church groups, and any other community-based group that can respond as a localized team in their area during times of disaster.
We are also working to provide Teen CERT and Campus CERT training to our area schools and college campuses.To take the CERT IS-317 course online:NOTE: While we encourage everyone to
take the online course, completion of
the 20-hour standard CERT classroom
course is required for all CERT members.

We will be training on moulage (injury simulation) kits and how to use them for disaster simulations and first aid training. Everyone will have the chance to make up various injuries while, at the same time, refresh training on different injuries, their causes, and their treatments.

The First Responders Prayer
Father in Heaven, Please make me strong when others are weak, brave when others are afraid and vigilant when others are distracted by the chaos. Provide comfort and companionship to my family when I must be away. Serve beside me and protect me, as I seek to protect others. Amen Rev. Robert A. Crutchfield |
