Fort Bend County is breaking new ground this summer with its first-ever MyPI (My Preparedness Initiative) Teen CERT Training, a hands-on emergency preparedness program aimed at empowering youth with real-world skills to respond to crises and save lives. Scheduled for July 14–18, 2025, at the Fort Bend County Emergency Operations Center in Richmond, this initiative marks one of the first of its kind in Texas.
The program is open to youth ages 13 to 18 and will run daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Though it is free to attend, participants have the option to pay for CPR and First Aid certification cards. Space is extremely limited—only the first 10 students who register will be accepted.
