Why should I get involved in CERT? In the event of a catastrophic disaster, you and your family, as well as your community may be on your own for a period of time due to the size of the area affected. Emergency services personnel will not be able to help everyone immediately because of the time it takes to set up and prepare an organized response to the disaster. You, your family and your community may need to rely on your own resources, (food, water, medical treatment and shelter) for several days or longer. You can make a difference by being prepared. C.E.R.T. training prepares you to help yourself, your family, and your neighbors during these emergencies. Training topics include personal preparedness, fire safety, search and rescue, and basic medical operations. See the Events Page for Dates & Times for the training session.
