Suggested CERT Supplies
The Kirkland CERT Program provides basic supplies as needed throughout the course.  

• During the Fire Safety class participants will be loaned personal protective equipment (PPE) including a hard hat, safety vest, and safety goggles for their use for the duration of the course. 
  
• When the class progresses into the medical operations topics participants will be provided with nitrile gloves and basic medical supplies for practice.
  
• Towards the end of the course participants will receive a CERT Field Guide, which is a condensed version of the text book.
  
• Graduates of the CERT program who commit to nominal volunteer requirements get to keep the loaner PPE and will also receive a CERT back pack.

Roland, a Kirkland CERT graduate and member of the Greater Kirkland Citizen Corps Council, created a spreadsheet with a more comprehensive list of supplies that CERTs will find useful.  Roland included notes and personal observations that are helpful to new CERTs just starting out.
