Our CERT; Community Emergency Response Team, supports Police and Fire in Highland Heights, Mayfield Heights and Mayfield Village?

We will start a class for new applicants when we have about 10 prospective members. The classes are described on our website, www.tricommunitycert.com, where you can also download an application. CERT volunteers are trained to assist first responders in the event of an emergency, disaster, need for support like first and and safety patrols at community events, and more. The skills you acquire are helpful not only in the event of a depolyment in our communities, but also in supporting your family and neighbors with any aspect of disaster preparedness. If you live or work in Highland Heights, Mayfield Heights or Mayfield Village, please learn more about joining the Tri Community CERT. Please note that a criminal background check will be required as part of the application process. Thank you.
