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.
You can find out more about CERT at the
FEMA CERT Web page.
