The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may occur where they live.

CERT trains volunteers in basic disaster response skills, such as:
- Fire safety
- Light search and rescue
- Team organization
- Disaster medical operations

The CERT program offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks.

Both sessions will be virtual.

The Lancaster County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) Training Summit is an educational and collaborative event designed to enhance preparedness, coordination, and response capabilities among emergency management, public safety, industry, and community partners in Lancaster County. This summit brings together professionals and volunteers from emergency response agencies, local businesses, healthcare facilities, government organizations, and non-profit groups to discuss best practices, share insights, and strengthen interagency relationships.

The training sessions cover a wide range of topics, including hazardous materials handling, emergency response strategies, incident command system (ICS) protocols, public safety technology advancements, and risk communication. Workshops, tabletop exercises, and scenario-based training modules provide hands-on experience and foster skills development. Guest speakers with expertise in emergency management, environmental safety, and crisis communication often present case studies and lessons learned to give participants a practical perspective on managing various emergencies.

The LEPC Training Summit also serves as a platform for networking, allowing attendees to forge connections and discuss collaborative opportunities for improved community resilience. Through this summit, the LEPC aims to ensure that Lancaster County’s emergency response community is well-equipped to handle any potential incidents involving hazardous materials and other critical threats.

The Disaster Preparedness and Survival course is designed to prepare individuals and families how to prepare for, survive, and recover from a disaster.  When facing a disaster our choice often comes down to stay at home or evacuate.  In this course participants will learn the logic behind the decision to evacuate or shelter in place and what to do once they make it. This course follows a “me, we, they” approach to prepare participants to care for themselves, their families, and their communities before, during, and after a disaster. Through a combination of facilitated discussions and hands-on activities based on real-life scenarios, the instructors will demonstrate how planning, preparedness, and responsible actions may increase the chances of both surviving a disaster and recovering from it more quickly.
