City of Davis

The City of Davis has developed a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program.  The program was created to train people in the Davis community to help themselves, family and neighbors during an emergency as well as to establish a pool of volunteers that can assist with large scale emergencies.

To become a Davis CERT graduate you must complete the three day course. The training will include disaster preparedness, first Aid, CPR, establishing care shelters, sandbagging, traffic control, missing person searches and city operations, organization and communications during an emergency.  The classes are free of charge and will be taught by city fire, police and public works personnel, PG&E and Yolo County Red Cross staff.
