Programs > Metro Volunteer Program > Opportunities > CERT Training
On January 26, 2004 approximately 30 members of The Metro Volunteer Program started a seven week training session at the Mojave Fire Training Facility. Since 9/11 we have all learned that things will never be the same as before. With this in mind, citizens all over the country are becoming more involved in volunteer groups such as The Metro Volunteer Program. In a pro-active move the MVP is involved in getting as many of its volunteers trained in the CERT program.
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program helps train people to be better prepared to respond to emergency situations in their communities. When emergencies happen, CERT members can give critical support to first responders, provide immediate assistance to victims, and organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site. CERT members can also help with non-emergency projects that help improve the safety of the community.
