2026 TF-7 TAP Training

About this event

The Sacramento CERT program's TF-7 Mobilization Team provides 24x7 standby support for CA TF-7/CalOES mobilizations and demobilizations.

What does this mean?

Any time CA TF-7/CalOES is deployed to a disaster zone, Sacramento CERT TF-7 Deployment Team members answer the call (24x7x365) and help the team mobilize for action.

To our knowledge, we are the first CERT team to perform this function in the country, and we've been doing it for 18 years!

Sacramento CERT members man stations at the US&R Cache and help the firefighters:

• check their vehicles in

• complete required deployment paperwork

• secure specialized PPE

• secure deployment bags

• secure PATS devices, Communications equipment, and HAZMAT PPE

• take flight weight, and

• manifest the members

We also provide other logistical support as required.

This class teaches Sacramento CERT members the assigned TAP positions for CERT members, and how each position functions. Students will also tour the TF-7 equipment cache to become familiar with the TAP and station locations within the TAP.

Members who want to serve on the TF-7 Mobilization Team must be FEMA CERT Volunteer Type 2 qualified ("Deployable") prior to taking this class.

Students and team members must have their own transportation to get to class and the Team Assembly Piont

This is a vital function to CA TF-7 operations, and we are honored to be asked to support this critical asset to our country's disaster response. If you are interestd, please consider signing up!

We look forward to seeing you in class.
