The City of Eugene sponsors CERT training to citizens within the Eugene/Springfield
metropolitan area. CERT trains citizens to be prepared to respond to emergency
situations within their communities. Trained CERT members are able to give critical
support to first responders, provide immediate assistance to victims, and organize
spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site. CERT members may also help with nonemergency
projects that improve the safety of a community.

CERT courses consist of a series of eight classes, which focus on disaster preparedness,
disaster fire suppression, basic disaster medical operations, and light search
and rescue operations. Each course concludes with a mock-disaster
drill, which tests the participants training. The CERT course is taught
by Fire Fighters and Paramedics, as well as, volunteers and first responders
who have completed a CERT Train-the-Trainer course, conducted
by Oregon Emergency Management.
