Moreno Valley CERT began on September 30, 1998. Since then, we have offered training four to six times per year. By far, the favorite part of the training is the final disaster exercise. CERT members conduct search and rescue for live victims who are moulaged with simulated injuries. CERT members utilize triage techniques; perform victim extrication; manage the treatment area; and provide treatment. To improve their skills, CERT members are invited to attend additional training provided to graduates free of charge by our Disaster Services Training Center. They are: Emergency Response to Terrorism; CPR and First Aid; Automated External Defibrillator; NIMS/ICS/SEMS; Blood Borne Pathogens; and Moulage Simulation Techniques. Graduates are invited to participate in citywide disaster exercises and safety fairs. CERT training is $15.00 and graduates receive a backpack, hard hat, vest, flashlight, gloves, goggles and certificate.

Moreno Valley CERT is endorsed by the City of Moreno Valley. For more information on Moreno Valley CERT or the City of Moreno Valley, please contact LeAnn Coletta at (951) 413-3809, or email at movaltc@moval.org.
