WaterfrontCERT: CERT Training

Thank you for your interest in Lakewood Ranch CERT

Why you are reading this email

In the past, you expressed interest in joining Lakewood Ranch CERT. Thank you! Volunteers just like you are the reason we have been Neighbors Helping Neighbors since 2006.

As an all-resident, all-volunteer non-profit organization, LWR CERT counts on residents such as yourself to help our community become more resilient.

Learn Personal and Family Safety

Before becoming a volunteer member of LWR CERT, you are required to complete a 20-hour FEMA Basic Skills Training course, where you will learn to be prepared for disasters such as hurricanes, which can hit our area.

Upon completing Basic Training, you will receive a free backpack stocked full of vital first aid supplies, a water pack, helmet, googles, and a radio to keep at your home. You will also be assigned to a team of neighbors who have also completed training.

Basic Training held in Lakewood Ranch

For your convenience, the Basic Training course is offered several times each year right here in Lakewood Ranch. Classes are held at Lakewood Ranch Town Hall and the local fire station.

There is no cost for you to attend. Class size is limited to provide you with personalized instruction and time for hands-on practice.

As a resident in the CDD area of Lakewood Ranch, you qualify for exclusive, early-entry into our Basic Training courses.

If you are interested in joining LWR CERT, check your calendar and register for the Basic Training course below which best fits your schedule. Class sizes are limited, so we encourage you to register today to guarantee your seat.
