Community Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T.)
The City of Irvine began its Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program in October 2000. This eight week course covers: Disaster Operations, Disaster Psychology and Team Organization, First Aid, Fire Suppression, Light Search and Rescue.

This course cumulates with an exercise where students can test the skills they have learned. CERT graduates are trained to care for their families and their neighbors in the event of a local disaster.
