COMMUNITY
EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM (CERT)
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may
impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as
fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster
medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during
exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace
following an event when professional responders are not immediately
available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency
response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness
projects in their community.
The CERT training is offered free of charge
and participants have no obligation or commitment to respond or act in the
event of a disaster.
