CERT

​Although CERT may not be participating in the drill directly, the City of Orem residents are encouraged to participate in CERT training. Register Here for an online, at your own pace, course through the University of Utah.

The CERT Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area, and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.

​Using the training learned in the classroom and during CERT exercises, members can assist their community or workplace following an emergency event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.
