The
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) educates people about
disaster preparedness and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as
fire safety, light search and rescue, and disaster medical operations.
Using
their training, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or
workplace following an event and can take a more active role in preparing their
community.
