Beyond the basic class, Estero Bay CERT offers advanced and continuing education opportunities. These include specialized skills such as:

Graduates of CERT training gain a stronger understanding of the risks in their home, workplace, and community. With these skills, volunteers are prepared to reduce hazards, respond effectively during emergencies, and provide critical support when disasters overwhelm local response capacity.

Training and Volunteer Opportunities are available throughout San Luis Obispo County.
In 2026, we'll look forward to expanding our programs to include more communities.
