The Directory of CERT Programs by State was created to list programs
that offer the CERT training program and are sponsored by local
government, or one of its representative like the fire or police
department, or a Citizen Corps Council.

This "Other" category was created to accommodate submissions to the CERT
website for programs that indicate that they use the CERT material.
However, these organizations are not part of a local government
jurisdiction. This listing is in alphabetical order by name of the
organization. This listing is a service to the organization that has
submitted information and not an endorsement of their program.

Program Description: We are currently seeking CERT trainers and trainees
to volunteer 12 months service with The California State Military
Reserve(State Guard).

We are an unarmed volunteer organization commanded by the Governor
through the State Adjutant General who also commands the California
National Guard.

We train one weekend a month in a variety of subjects including,
CPR/First Aid, Military organization and operations, emergency
communications, NBC Protective measures, CERT, Land Navigation and
others.

Our complete training cycle takes approximately 12 training weekends(one
year)

We are paid according to our military rank when activated into state
duty in the case of disasters and other significant events.

No prior military service is required but is helpful.

If you desire to serve your community in time of need and would like to
learn valuable life saving skills, take the time to investigate service
with the California State Military Reserve.

Because we have no combat mission, our physical fitness and age
requirements are much more inclusive than the National Guard.

We are currently seeking 250 volunteers and trainers to begin the next
12 month training cycle at Los Alamitos California.

Continue the tradition,

Website address: www.EmergencyCorps.org

Program Description: The goal of this program is to develop employee
emergency response teams in workplace organizations. Emergencies are
more than likely to occur during work hours and therefore the workplace
is an appropriate place to organize and train responders to minimize
injury and loss. Our strategy is to train one or more Emergency Response
Team trainers in participating organizations.

These trainers in turn coordinate the training of Emergency Response
Teams in their own organization in cooperation with local public safety
officials.

All training reflects the FEMA Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT)format and utilizes FEMA certificated trainers.

As no grant funding has been identified for this program to date,
participating organizations are required to cover the cost of training
for the individual sent for the train-the-trainer course.

Brief Description of Program Activities: The goal of the proposed CERT
training Program in Chautauqua County is to train and involve members of
the community in emergency response using CERT curriculum as a means to
accomplish this goal.

Annticipated Accomplishments: Individuals within our county will be
better prepared in the event of a disaster by proper training and
dissemination of information.

Our first team was trained in July of 2004. Our second team in September
of 2005. We also have trained a Campus Emergency Response Team at SUNY
Fredonia in October of 2005. This Campus Emergency Response Team is one
of the first at a SUNY college.

Many individuals of both teams have responded to the hurricanes in the
South due to their CERT training. Not-For-Profit agencies have reconized
the value of such training, and have used them accordingly.

We are planning two more trainings in 2006 in Chautauqua County.
