Community Emergency Response Team
C.E.R.T is looking for GT Residents
The C.E.R.T. program provides participants with "hands-on" practical training that will enable them to effectively plan for and respond to an earthquake, or other emergencies in and around their neighborhood. The Rialto Fire Department personnel will be teaching the course for Grand Terrace residents. C.E.R.T. is about readiness, people helping people, rescuer safety, and doing the greatest good for the greatest number.
The need for C.E.R.T. Teams
Local government prepares for everyday emergencies. However, during a disaster, the number and scope of incidents can overwhelm conventional emergency services. Fire and Police personnel will be unable to provide services to all those that need assistance. Community members face a tremendous responsibility for the safety and welfare of their family members day-to-day, especially in the event of an emergency. This valuable course is designed to help you protect yourself, your family, your neighbors and your neighborhood in an emergency situation.
The next series of C.E.R.T. classes will be held on Friday, July 14th and Friday, June 21st from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the GT Fire Station. The third class will be determined by the class members.
You must attend all sessions in order to receive a course completion certificate. Sturdy shoes are required. All other materials will be provided. Any program costs will be covered by the City of Grand Terrace, EOC fund. Call (909) 430-2201 to register.
Classes are either scheduled one per week for three weeks or one per week for six weeks. Attendance is required for all class days
Classes are open to all City of GT citizens who are at least 18 years old.
