Community Emergency Response Team Training

Learn disaster response skills, gain confidence, and be empowered to help your family and neighbors.

Mercer Island's Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Course for 2024 will take place over the weekend of November 15-17.

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is designed to educate the community about disaster preparedness for the hazards where they live. By the end of training, CERT grads will be equipped to take care of themselves, their families, neighborhood, and community. The City of Mercer Island's goal is to make communities safer, more prepared, and more resilient - CERT training helps accomplish that.
