What Is CERT? | Local government prepares for everyday
emergencies. However, during a disaster, the number and scope
of incidents can overwhelm conventional emergency services.
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is an
all-risk, all-hazard training. This valuable course is
designed to help you protect yourself, your family, your
neighbors, and your neighborhood in an emergency
situation. CERT is a positive and realistic approach to
emergency and disaster situations where citizens may initially
be on their own and their actions can make a difference. While
people will respond to others in need without the training,
one goal of the CERT program is to help them do so effectively
and efficiently without placing themselves in unnecessary
danger. In the CERT training, citizens learn to:
| • | Manage utilities and put out
small fires |
| • | How to open airways, control
bleeding, treating for shock, and providing medical
aid |
| • | Search for and rescue victims
safely |
| • | Organize themselves and
spontaneous volunteers to be effective |
| • | Collect disaster intelligence
to support first responder effort |
