Henrico County Community Emergency Response Team logoThe Henrico County Community Emergency Response Team (HCCERT) actively supports Henrico County residents by promoting community preparedness efforts. HCCERT volunteers prioritize ensuring their families, friends, and coworkers are ready for disasters before they happen.

To achieve this goal, volunteers develop critical skills, including basic first aid, triage, fire safety, utility control, and light search-and-rescue techniques.


Course Overview

The Henrico CERT Basic Training course follows a hybrid format: an introductory class, a 9-unit online course, and an all-day hands-on training session known as Super Saturday. Participants must complete both the online and in-person components to receive certification. Classes are held twice a year, in the spring and fall.
