Volunteers Sought For Emergency Response Teams
|
The Community Emergency Response Team
(CERT) trains people in neighborhoods, the workplace and schools in basic disaster response skills, such as fire suppression, urban search and rescue and medical operations and helps them take a more active role in emergency preparedness. |
Who
are CERT members?
Friends, neighbors, co-workers and trained professionals who
volunteer their valuable time and resources to make a difference.
When
emergencies happen
CERT members give critical support to first responders, provide
immediate assistance to victims and organize spontaneous
volunteers at a disaster site.
CERT members can also help with non-emergency projects
that help improve the safety of the workplace and their
community.
