Congratulations Belmont's Newest CERT Heroes!
On Saturday. Nov. 5, San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department graduated 38 newly trained Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members, including nine Belmont residents.

CERT is a group of volunteer residents who are trained by the Fire Department in a curriculum created by FEMA. CERTs are residents who volunteer their time to take training in preparedness, disaster psychology, disaster medical, fire suppression, and how to safely and efficiently support our professional responders and our community in times of disaster.

Pictured here are our newest Belmont CERTs, left to right: Lyudmila, Dahyoh, Yasmin, Paul, Anamika, Effie, Raymond, and Veronika.

The San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department offers this training for free to those who live or work in our city.  Once residents have completed the basic CERT Course, they then can participate in continuing CERT education offered by SMCFD, with their fellow CERTs.  The SMCFD CERT Program has approximately 800 active members, and over 3,000 residents have been trained in the CERT curriculum.

Congratulations to all the new CERTs and thank you for your dedication to preparedness for the greater resilience of our community.
