ERT certification training is an UMCOR training for Disaster Response ministries of Volunteers in Mission. The Disaster Response Ministry is a way for us to go out of the church building and provide a caring, Christian presence to the survivors of natural disasters. We help with such tasks as cleaning out flood-damaged homes and tarping roofs, primarily within the Western PA Conference area. There is a need for volunteers to become ERT certified, as training hasn't been available since late 2019. You can learn more about this ministry here. Contact WPAUMC Disaster Response Coordinator David Kissinger (814-243-3254; disasterresponse@wpaumc.org) for additional information or with your questions.
