As part of its Mission, NWTEMC oversees a Regional tribal CERT team and Conducts CERT trainings for the Tribes of the Northwest. In order to do this NWTEMC has received grants from Dept Homeland Security and WA DOH in order to conduct trainings, buy CERT materials and manage the logistics of overseeing its CERT program for 3 States.

The 2009 WA DOH CERT grant allowed for the funding of  5 CERT classes for Washington State Tribes, including a CERT Train-the-Trainer class as well as the purchase of 9 Regional CERT trailers with starter CERT supplies and equipment to fill the Trailers.

The NWTEMC received additional funds from the WA DOH in 2010 to buy more CERT manuals, training kits and conduct classes.

The NWTEMC and WA DOH also customized the CERT Participant Manual for this project. Download the CERT Participant Manual
