During an incident, public safety personnel may not be able to reach
everyone right away. By getting trained in CERT, you will have the
skills to help emergency management and first responders save lives and
protect property.
CERT members also can volunteer with the
Department's Education and Public Outreach program, which promotes
emergency preparedness awareness at community events and to
neighborhoods, civic groups, churches, schools, and businesses.
CERT Classes
Since 2004, the Department has conducted dozens of CERT classes
throughout the city to the general public, churches, schools, and
businesses. Danville CERT members have volunteered thousands of hours
helping those in the Danville community and in the nation.
If you are interested in taking the training or starting a team in your neighborhood or business, call 434-799-6535.
