Our goal in the CERT program is to help you prepare to take care of yourself, your family, and your

neighbors in case of a large-scale emergency which may overwhelm

CERT MEMBERS ARE NOT

FIRST RESPONDERS!

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program

educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the 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. CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations,

which allows them to focus on more complex tasks. Through CERT, the capabilities to prepare for, respond

to and recover from disasters is built and enhanced.

The CERT Basic Course is delivered in the community by a

team of first responders and other qualified volunteers. The

organization and timing of training and meeting vary from program to program. It is often broken up into two to four-hour

blocks over a series of evenings or weekends.
