CERT Camarillo

Who We Are

Being prepared in an emergency situation is critical. Within the past 10 years, Ventura County residents have experienced wildfires, floods, mudslides, and earthquakes.

Ventura County Fire Department provides FREE Community Emergency Response Team Training.  

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program teaches community members about the potential disasters that may affect our area and how to safely and responsibly respond to them.  With this knowledge, citizens can prepare themselves, their homes and families before an emergency situation occurs.  

What We Do

CERT educates citizens in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, team organization, hazards that may impact our area, and disaster medical operations.

CERT members receive hands-on training in:

• Disaster preparedness and response skills
• Reducing fire hazards in the home and workplace
• Setting up medical treatment areas
• Assisting emergency responders
• Treatment and triage evaluation
• Conducting light search and rescue
• Organizing and managing a CERT Team

 

Hybrid CERT Training Includes: 

  • 12 hours of online learning at your convenience.

  • 16 hours of practical training scheduled after the online course is completed.

  • When both phases of training are finished, participants receive a Certificate of Completion for the CERT Training, issued by the Ventura County Fire Department.

  • Participants will receive a CERT backpack, including personal protective equipment such as, helmet, vest, goggles, gloves, and flashlight.
