Yolo County Environmental Health will upload our existing regulated business database to the CERS database. As a result, most of our business users will only need to create a CERS account containing a user name and password, log-in to the CERS website, search for your uploaded business, request access to that business’s information, and update and add required information. For newly regulated businesses a new CERS facility will need to be created from scratch by going to CERS Central at: http://cers.calepa.ca.gov
Once you have watched the “Creating an Account” video, you are invited to go to http://cers.calepa.ca.gov and click on Training Portal Sign-In (NOT the Business Portal Sign-in) on the Business Side of the page. Next, in the “New to CERS?” box, click on the “Create New Account” button. Fill out the CERS Registration page following the instructions and click on the “Create My Account” button. A message will be sent to the email address listed in the registration, follow the instructions in the email to complete the creation your account. Once you have completed setting up the account, you may go back to the Training Portal Sign-In link and sign in using the Username and Password for that account. Feel free to navigate around the Training portion of the Website. The account which you create on the “Training” side of the Website is also created in the Business Portal for future use but all other data entries will not transfer over, so feel free to “practice”.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Since Yolo County Environmental Health has “seeded” your facility information, going to the regular Business Portal Sign-in before we have sent you a letter confirming your information has been seeded and containing your CERS ID # may create multiple accounts for the same facility which will be problematic.
