Our CERT was formed in 2009. As of 08/25/12, we have 40 members who have completed the approved CERT training course. Additional courses will be scheduled when we have added new members. The courses are presented on weekday evenings at the Police and Fire Departments or other City buildings in Highland Heights, Mayfield Heights and Mayfield Village. Applicants must complete a CERT Volunteer Form (check the "Contact Us" tab for a link to our brochure and the form). Criminal background checks are completed on all team members. Team members have been provided with a CERT kit (a backpack) that contains goggles, gloves, helmet, reflective vest, multi-purpose tool for natural gas shut-off and to aid in debris removal and a flashlight. Members are encouraged to add additional emergency supplies to their kits. Our training includes the Incident Command System, which is an important part of how CERT operates. Additional training is available on-line at the FEMA Emergency Management Institute, which can be found at http://www.training.fema.gov/is/crslist.asp and also by making arrangements to attend classes presented by other CERTs in Cuyahoga County. The Tri Community CERT is a member of the Cuyahoga County CERT Association. Thank you for your interest in the Tri Community CERT.
