The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) offers specialized training for volunteers who live or work in the City of Celina. CERT trains and coordinates volunteers to prepare and respond to community or regional disasters or emergencies.
CERT’s unique training and response program follows the U.S Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Celina's Emergency Management department has enhanced and customized this program to fit the needs of Celina's residents.
Upon conclusion of the program, participants participate in a table top exercise scenario that allows them to apply the training learned in the lessons of the program. Graduates can remain involved as CERT volunteer by attending alum nights, through outreach and education, and assisting with some administrative tasks.
Class will start on 2/4/25 and will occur weekly on Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00-8:30 until 3/4/25. 3/4/25 will be the exercise to go through a table top exercise involving a natural disaster scenario.
