The CERT training is a 20-hour, all hazard training program offered by Morgan Hill's Office of Emergency Services. Classes are a combination of online training and a one-day, hands-on skills training sessions.

During the training, residents will learn: Disaster Preparedness, Fire Safety, Disaster Medical Operations and Triage, Light Search & Rescue, Team Organization, Disaster Psychology, Terrorism & Incident Command. CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, which allows them to focus on more complex tasks.

Minors must be accompanied at all times, including for online Zoom classes, by a parent or legal guardian. Community service hours are available to students who attend with a parent/guardian.
