Become a Teen CERT Member and Help Your Community in an Emergency
The Palm Beach County Office of Emergency Management is offering free Teen Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training for teenagers ages 13 - 17 years old.
The Teen CERT concept was created to address preparedness and response capabilities from within high schools. While many schools have taken measures to provide for site security analysis and equipment, more effort is needed to train staff and students in school security and emergency response procedures, and to involve youth in the country's overall emergency preparedness and response plans. Teen CERT aims to train students in emergency preparedness and basic responses to ensure that they have the skills needed to protect themselves and assist others in the event of an emergency.
