What is CERT?

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a free, 501C3 FEMA program that trains citizens to be prepared for and respond to emergencies that may arise in their community.  In the event of a major disaster such as a hurricane, emergency services personnel can initially become overwhelmed leaving citizens on their own. CERT training enables citizens to help themselves and their neighbors by applying the basic response and organizational skills during an emergency. CERT members can also serve as first responders to any emergency until professional emergency services arrive
