Training is an essential part of CERT

There are no CERT classes currently being offered. When offered the classes are usually held on Thursday evenings, unless otherwise indicated; each class except the final exercise will begin at 6 pm and end by 9 pm. The location of all classes will be the Training Room at Fire Station #6, 2740 25th Street SE, Salem.



Details The classes are provided by the City of Salem CERT, under the auspices of the Salem Fire Department, and there is no charge to participate. To become certified, you must attend all the classes. Topics included in the training are: personal preparedness, the CERT organization, disaster medical operations, disaster psychology, fire safety and utility controls, light search and rescue operations, CERT and terrorism. The final class in the series is a mock disaster drill in which you will be able to practice the skills you have learned during the previous classes.

If you would like to enroll for any offered series of classes, the three enrollment forms are attached. Please complete and return the forms to me electronically to complete your enrollment. If you are unable to open the forms or are unable to return them to me electronically, please let me know so that we can make different arrangements for their completion and return.

If you have any questions about the forms, the classes, or the CERT program, please feel welcome to contact Lola Hackett.
