Cy-Fair CERT (CFC) has proposed to Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HCOHSEM) to conduct 2 CERT Training classes in 2022, and HCOHSEM has agreed. Class 38 will begin on 29-Mar (ending on 17-May) and Class 39 will begin on 23-Aug (ending on 11-Oct). Both classes will be held at the Lone Star College-Cy-Fair Emergency
Education Services Center (ESEC – 18132 West Road, Entrance E – in the back of the building, Cypress, TX 77433 – part of the fire station located west of the Lone Star College, https://goo.gl/maps/hLZX9fqYBc6U1YPN6). You may miss 2 classes and still graduate, but you must attend the final drill (last class meeting – demonstration of the skills you learned).
 
There is NO FEE for this 8 week Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) class (FEMA requires that each class be comprised of 8 modules, CFC classes are held on consecutive Tuesday evenings from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm, an 8 week commitment, one evening a week). You will receive a
class manual and backpack with starter supplies such as a hardhat and safety vest. Upon graduation you receive a certificate and official CERT ID badge.
 
Come join the other 490+ citizens in the Bear Creek, Bridgeland, Coles Crossing, Copperfield, Fairfield, Towne Lake and neighboring Cy-Fair communities who have taken our training. Learn how not to become a victim during an emergency or disaster!

  • Medical Operations and Triage (2 sessions)
  • Search and Rescue
  • Disaster Psychology & Incident Command Structure
  • Terrorism and CERT
  • A Final Drill (to demonstrate the skills you have learned during the class)

All classes are taught by professionals in their field.
