Major Disasters
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training is a community service program offered by the Fremont Fire Department and its CERT volunteers. The training involves preparing neighborhoods or community-based teams to be self-sufficient in the hours immediately following a major disaster. These events could include:
- Earthquakes
- Terrorist attacks
- Severe storms
- Other catastrophic events
Volunteers may be the first responders on the scene after a major earthquake or other disaster. They will be ineffective or at personal risk unless they have received proper disaster response training. The CERT program provides this crucial training.
