Upon completion of the training they will be sworn in.

Online versions of the training manual can be download (in Acrobat pdf format) from the Lamorinda CERT web site at http://tinyurl.com/ykez4yg
I strongly suggest that you read Unit 1: Disaster Preparedness and Unit 8: Terrorism. Every session will be presented using Powerpoint slides.
The manual covers more ground and provides information that will greatly enhance your ability to function in a disaster.
