Be Ready If Disaster Hits Redondo!

The next CERT Class start September 7, sign up today!

Although Fire and Police emergency service personnel are the best trained and equipped to handle disasters, they will not be able to help everyone in post disaster response and recovery. You can make the difference by using the training you will receive to save lives and protect property. Are you ready?

A team of Redondo Beach firefighter instructors provide the training and will cover topics including disaster preparedness, CPR & First Aid, disaster medical operations, damage assessment, extinguisher use, light search and rescue, disaster psychology & team organization.

Upon successfully completing the training, you could be registered as a disaster service worker for the City of Redondo Beach. Registered volunteers are required to participate in future disaster preparedness training activities to maintain their volunteer status.

The fee is $40.00 per person for Redondo Beach residents, $100.00 per person for non-residents. The fee includes a designated C.E.R.T. hard hat, CPR & First Aid certification, photo identification card, training manual and graduation certificates. Payments can be delivered to Fire Station 1, 401 South Broadway, Redondo Beach, CA 90277. We accept cash and checks made payable to The City of Redondo Beach.

The registration form can be found here C.E.R.T. Registration Form 2017.

The next class will be organized for Fall, 2017. The start date is Spetember 7th and it will last until November 4th. The C.E.R.T. Academy is currently taught Thursday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and one Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. during an eight-week period.
