Community Emergency Response Team
Community Emergency Response Teams (C.E.R.T.) are made up of volunteers that have completed a course of study outlined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These volunteers will then help public safety organizations within the community if a disaster strikes and local public safety agencies such as fire and police departments are overwhelmed.
Eureka CERT is a proud member of the St. Louis Regional CERT Association, which is made up of area Fire and Police Departments, Emergency Management Agencies, and 911 Centers. We share our training with our Association partners and offer a wide range of programs throughout our group that are open to all CERT members.
To date, over 500 people have completed the 22-hour training program through Eureka Emergency Management.
​
Anyone interested in this free training can register for the class by contacting St. Louis Community College at 314-984-7777. Classes are open to anyone interested and are typically held in the Spring and Fall of each year.

Eureka Emergency Management is a coordinated effort of the City of Eureka, the Eureka Police Department, and the Eureka Fire Protection District.
