Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training
The City of Issaquah is offering a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program which educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.

The CERT program consists of eight class sessions two and a half hours each.
