CITY OF RENTON WASHINGTON

In most emergencies, the victim or a bystander provides the first immediate assistance. Joining CERT teaches you how to respond when others look to you for help. Are you ready?

In Renton there are about 30 firefighters on duty serving a community of over 100,000 residents on any given day. If a disaster occurs, these professional first responders will be overwhelmed with requests for help. Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) teaches you to become your own first responder.

Renton CERT classes are taught by local subject matter experts including firefighters, police officers, chaplains, emergency managers, and medical professionals. Learn to extinguish fires, conduct search and rescue, provide basic first aid, identify and respond to terrorism, assist professional responders, reduce survivor stress, and prepare yourself and your community for emergencies.

Registration

CERT costs $30, with a $5 discount for City of Renton residents. CERT offers classes twice a year, in spring and fall.  See courses currently available for registration online.
