First Responders Workshops
CERT First Responder workshops are held at various locations across the PG&E service area and take place throughout the year.
The CERT Workshops are designed to provide safety-related community organizations with the information needed to educate community members about emergencies involving natural gas and electric utility equipment and services. Information about additional educational resources and where to order educational materials will be provided during the class. Learn more about ordering additional educational resources.
