CERT Program

What is CERT Hybrid?

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Hybrid Program educates participants and volunteers in disaster response skills for hazards that may occur where they live or work. Training topics include disaster preparedness, fire safety and utility controls, light search and rescue, team organization, terrorism and CERT, disaster psychology, and disaster medical operations. The hybrid course allows participants to train on their own schedule since the modules can be completed online. After finishing all the online modules, participants will attend in-person training at the Cape Coral Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to practice the skills learned.

For more information, email vyoda@capecoral.gov. The training is free of charge. Priority is given to participants who live or work in the City of Cape Coral, but anyone may attend. Applicants must be at least 16 years old and pass a background check. Class size is limited.
