Update: The City of Dallas, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training Dates and Additional Info.

The City of Dallas, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training program is an all-hazard grassroots initiative that trains local community members the bare basics of emergency response. This valuable course is designed to protect yourself, your family, your neighbors, and your neighborhood in an emergency situation. In a post-disaster situation, citizens may be on their own for 24, 48 or even 72 hours. While people will generally respond to others in need, having CERT training assists people in responding effectively, without placing themselves in unnecessary danger. The dates, times, and locations have been established for the next training and they are as follows:
