Registration is now open for the 2023 Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training, hosted by the Cities of Burien and Des Moines. This essential program aims to empower residents with the knowledge and skills necessary to respond effectively during emergencies and disasters. Participants will learn how to assist their families, neighborhoods, and communities in times of crisis, especially when professional emergency responders may be delayed. Upon successfully completing the course, attendees will receive a CERT certificate, enhancing their preparedness and confidence in handling emergencies.
