The City of Calabasas is offering a unique opportunity for residents to become active members of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). As part of our ongoing commitment to public safety and preparedness, residents are invited to participate in CERT training through a hybrid format, consisting of a combination of online learning and hands-on skills training.
Training Options Available:
- CERT Hybrid Course: Complete 8 online training modules at your own pace, followed by a 2-day in-person, hands-on training with L.A. County Fire.
- CERT Refresher Course: For previously trained CERT members who want to refresh their skills and join the final hands-on sessions.
Deadline to complete online modules: August 23, 2025 (All 8 modules and Final Exam must be completed prior to hands-on sessions)
