UMCOR provides several courses for Early Response Teams (ERTs) through a network of badged local trainers. ERTs fill a specific need in the early days after a disaster to help to prevent further damage while providing a caring Christian presence.

ERT Classes help participants understand how United Methodists are involved during a disaster, how we get prepared for a disaster, and what we can do when a disaster strikes.

Visit our Training page to sign up for one of our upcoming courses:

September 6 at Haymount UMC (Fayetteville)
September 27 at Bethesda UMC (Fairmont)
October 18 at Christ UMC (Chapel Hill)
