Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

The City of Yorba Linda, in conjunction with OCFA and the Brea Police Department, has established a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) for the "Land of Gracious Living." CERT is a volunteer organization that helps the City and neighboring communities during emergencies. To get involved, take the free CERT training course!

The course will teach how to prepare yourself, your family, and your community for emergencies and what it takes to be an effective first responder. The following topics are taught during the course:

• Disaster Preparedness
• Fire Safety
• Disaster Medical Operations
• Search and Rescue
• CERT Organization
• Disaster Psychology
• Terrorism

The course spans three days and starts at 8am, ending at 5pm with a lunch break in between and will be held at the Yorba Linda Community Center. The first two days will be educational and the third day will be a "hands-on" disaster simulation.
