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.
