About CERT…
The City and County of Denver, Mayor’s
Office of Emergency Management and
Homeland Security (OEMHS) in
partnership with the Colorado Federal
Executive Boards Emergency
Preparedness Council and Centennial
Airport is offering Community Emergency
Response Training (CERT) to educate
employees of Governmental Agencies
and Centennial Airport Tenants about
disaster preparedness for hazards that
may impact our 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 the exercises,
CERT participants can assist others
following an emergency event when
professional responders are not
immediately available to help. CERT
participants also are encouraged to
support emergency response agencies
by taking a more active role in emergency
preparedness projects in our community.
If a disastrous event overwhelms or delays
the community’s professional response,
employees can better protect themselves
and their neighbors/co-workerw by
applying the preparedness skills that they
learned during training. These skills can
help save and sustain life following a
disaster until help arrives. CERT skills also
apply to daily emergencies.
