Marion County CERT

🚨 Marion County CERT kicked off their first Basic Training of the year this past weekend! 🚨

From the moment the class started, this group brought incredible energy and enthusiasm to the training. Participants were engaged, curious, and eager to learn the skills that help communities respond during emergencies.

The class asked thoughtful questions, explored real-world scenarios, and kept the instructors on their toes throughout the weekend. Their willingness to dig deeper into the material showed just how committed they are to understanding their role as Marion County CERT volunteers and how it plays in supporting their neighbors during disasters.

Throughout the training, students began building the foundation of CERT by learning about fire safety, disaster medical operations, light search and rescue, and how teams organize and work together during emergencies.

Thank you to everyone who showed up ready to learn, ask questions, and take the first steps toward helping make Marion County more prepared.
