Neighbors Helping Neighbors
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a program to make communities safer, more prepared, and when incidents occur, more resilient in recovery. CERT is a partnership between the Federal and Fairfax County Governments and is managed by the Fire and Rescue Department. The training prepares people to help themselves, their families, and their communities during major disasters when first responders can be delayed. The CERT motto is to “Do the greatest good for the greatest number."
Be prepared to help during a personal or community-wide incident or disaster. CERT training is challenging and fun, and it is FREE. You will receive a backpack with personal protective equipment and disaster response supplies.
Classes are held at the Fairfax County Fire and
Rescue Academy located at 4600 West Ox Road in Fairfax, VA. We also offer classes at various community locations throughout the county, by request, from homeowner associations, companies, churches and other groups. Contact us for more information.
CERT training is conducted by Adjunct instructors of the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Academy and our outstanding Volunteer CERT Instructors.
Anyone who lives, works or travels in Fairfax County, Virginia is eligible to take this FREE Emergency Response training. If you are:
People of varying physical abilities and languages are welcome and can be accommodated.
Class Sizes are Limited
During the COVID pandemic this training is even more vital. But it must also be safe for you and our instructors. So the class sizes are limited to just 8 socially distanced students.

The majority of our funding use to come from the UASI Grant and other regular government budgeting. However, that funding has not been renewed. We must rely on our community to support our very active operations throughout Fairfax County. We always appreciate help from the public, and if you're interested in donating to our cause, we have a IRS certified 501.C(3) non-profit that can accept fully deductible contributions to support our operations. The dollar can be the most powerful and effective tool before a crisis.
