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. |
