PONO is a FREE Disaster Preparedness Training program for Teens that provides hands-on training following the Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The training has been adapted for teens but still includes all of the knowledge and skills provided in the adult training including Disaster Preparedness, Fire Safety, Search and Rescue, Triage, and First Aid.
Teens will also participate in a final simulation that allows them to demonstrate their skills.
See the Teen CERT training program page for more information.
