Two Opportunities for ERT training are scheduled for this Fall: September 16 and October 10. The eight-hour basic UMCOR Early Response Team (ERT) training will teach you how to assist survivors of natural disasters in their time of need.

The recertification class will end around 1:00 pm and is only for those who have completed the basic course and are within one year of the date their badge expired.
