Palm Beach County offering free CERT training for teens

Registration is open for Teen Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training for youth aged 13 to 17.  Palm Beach County's Emergency Management Division will host the classes at the Palm Beach State College Lake Worth campus on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., from March 18 through April 29. Teen CERT is funded through federal grants, so there is no cost to participants.

Participants will learn skills such as basic first aid, light search and rescue, light firefighting, disaster preparedness and disaster psychology to protect themselves, their family and friends if an emergency strikes their community or school. Participants will receive community service hours for time spent in the classroom and through involvement in CERT activities.

When CERT volunteers organize and perform disaster medical operations, fire safety and light search and rescue, it frees up professional responders to focus on more complex, essential and critical tasks.
