State Emergency Response Team

A State Emergency Response Team (SERT) is a coordinated group of officials and agencies that prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies like natural disasters, accidents, or hazardous situations. They work together to ensure swift, organized action, providing resources, communication, and expertise to protect communities. SERTs typically include emergency management professionals, first responders, public health officials, and other specialized personnel. Their goal is to minimize damage, save lives, and help communities recover efficiently during crises.
