The ROWAN County
Citizen Emergency Response Training (C.E.R.T.) is designed to help our
families, neighborhoods, schools, and businesses prepare for effective
disaster/emergency response through training and preplanning.
This training covers basic skills that are important to know when emergency
services are not immediately available. You can make a difference by using
the training to save lives and protect property.
Emergency responders, emergency management personnel, and emergency trained
volunteers provide training. Program material covers earthquakes, fires,
floods, hazardous incidents and other general life-threatening situations.
This Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) certified course does not
require previous emergency knowledge for participation.

ROWAN County Emergency Response Training (C.E.R.T.) will hold its training
class on July 19th from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM each Monday will
