CERT Quarterly Division Training

CERT graduates have been asking for more information on radio communication. This quarter's topic is LAFD 800 MHz Radio Use and Introduction to GMRS/FRS Radios. A "hands on" radio / ICS drill is scheduled.

If you already own FRS or GMRS radios, bring them (charged or with new batteries) to the training. For those who have radios and have never used them, the chance to learn is here. Information will also be available for those who are thinking of buying radios.

Bring all your CERT response gear with you.

----------------

The vision of the Division Trainings is to provide either new CERT-related training topics or to review existing CERT topics to increase the "Ready Responsiveness" of our CERT teams.

We offer one topic, three times, in three different locations in Los Angeles (once in each of our City Fire Divisions) over a 3-month period. That way, CERT members have three different opportunities to attend the training in three different locations. We envision four training topics each year.

Training will be either conducted by LAFD members of the CERT Unit or by qualified specialists on the subject matter.

Quarterly Division Trainings are open to all CERT graduates regardless of affiliation.

Los Angeles CERT members must submit completed CERT Volunteer Enrollment Forms prior to the event.

CERT members from other agencies must submit copies of their CERT IDs or CERT certificates prior to the event.

Fax all paperwork to 818-804-5302.
