What is CERT?
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program trains volunteers in disaster preparedness, enabling them to assist during emergencies. This allows professional responders to focus on more complex tasks.
CERT covers basic first aid, fire safety, search and rescue, and disaster psychology, helping communities become more resilient and better equipped to handle disasters. Volunteers work alongside local responders, enhancing overall emergency response efforts.
