CERT MEMBERSHIP

Becoming a CERT Member

By joining Agoura Hills CERT, you are making yourself available to help the general community in times of disaster. The group participates in refresher and supplemental training to keep our skills polished and ready. 

CERT members will never be asked to take on roles that will endanger them. They will also always make sure their own immediate needs, and that of their families and neighbors, are addressed before reporting to the city to assist.
