Miami Beach Emergency Management offers the FEMA-sponsored Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training. Following a large-scale emergency, professional first responders may not be immediately available as they are tasked with multiple priorities. Through CERT training, individuals and organizations learn life-saving response skills to help each other until professionals arrive.
Basic Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training
If you are interested in volunteering with the City of Miami Beach in any capacity (following a disaster or not) you are required to complete the CERT training course. CERT training is offered as a series of classes that total 24 hours, including a simulated disaster drill. Completion of all modules is necessary to obtain certification.
