We have partnered with the Shaker Heights CERT to begin in-person basic training classes in Fall of 2024. To participate, we need an application and hold harmless from you, and, completion of a criminal background check. We encourage anyone interested to send the application and hold harmless as soon as possible, so we can get the background check completed before the upcoming class. Email tricommunitycert@gmail.com if you are interested. Follow us on Facebook. Please complete the application and hold harmless, then scan and email to tricommunitycert@gmail.com.

Current members should register at ServeOhio. How to register at ServeOhio.

Thank you for your interest in and commitment to CERT.

More Information?

"The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community." Learn more at the Citizen Corps website.
