In-Person ERT Training

Early Response Teams (ERT) are specially trained teams that offer assistance soon after the disaster strikes. They generally do clean up work and tasks required to stop further damage from being done, e.g. putting tarps on damaged roofs. They might do minor repairs that help make homes habitable, but they do not do extensive repairs or reconstruction (that is the job for Long Term Recovery).

The $30 cost of the training includes all training materials, snack and lunch, T-shirt, background check and identification badge.

NOTE: Prior to the date of training, you MUST complete the following prerequisites:

  • Complete a background check - https://tinyurl.com/umcorvv Please forward submission of background check to training@riotexasresponse.org
