CERT is made up of volunteers from the community, working together for the benefit and safety of the community.

Sooner or later, it could happen − a major emergency right in our community. Now is the time to prepare – but how?

A Community Emergency Response Team, or CERT, is a group of local volunteers trained in basic disaster response:

When the unexpected occurs, CERT is there to help alongside local responders.

You can be a CERT volunteer. You can start a CERT team. Young, old, and everyone in between are welcome, wanted and needed.

You don’t take the place of first responders, but you’ve got their backs − during emergencies and as they train and practice for whatever may happen, because sooner or later, something will.

But CERT is more than emergency response; CERT is about building up and protecting communities, and that can happen in all kinds of ways: distributing smoke alarms, staffing first aid booths, or helping the local firefighters fundraise; the list could go on.

Help protect our community and neighbors today.
