Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a program that trains volunteers to help in emergencies and disasters, such as fires, floods, or earthquakes. Participants learn essential skills like first aid, search and rescue, and basic firefighting. CERT members support local emergency services by assisting their communities during crises, ensuring safety, and providing immediate assistance until professional help arrives. The program emphasizes teamwork, preparedness, and resilience, empowering individuals to take action and make a difference in tough situations. By participating, volunteers can enhance their own and their neighbors' safety in times of need.
