Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a program managed by Office of Emergency Management. Members are trained to respond to disasters and work effectively with emergency responders by utilizing medical, triage, light search and rescue, disaster fire suppression, damage assessments, cribbing and leveraging techniques.

After completing our CERT program, you will be armed with the knowledge to help yourself, your family, your school, church, business and your community. All graduates participate in a simulated disaster exercise utilizing live moulaged victims.
