The City of Tukwila is excited to announce a free Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training session scheduled for April 24, 2018, aimed at empowering local residents with critical life-saving skills. In the event of a large-scale emergency, professional responders may not be able to reach affected areas immediately, making this training essential. Participants will learn a range of emergency preparedness techniques, including disaster response strategies, first aid, and basic firefighting skills. By engaging in this program, community members can play a vital role in supporting each other during times of crisis. The CERT training is designed to foster a culture of preparedness and resilience within the community.

This initiative not only enhances individual skills but also strengthens community ties and cooperation. The City of Tukwila recognizes the importance of citizen involvement in emergency management and encourages all residents to take part in this valuable training. Whether for personal knowledge or community service, the skills learned during this training can be lifesaving.
