What is CERT?
|
|
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a group of resident volunteers who have received training in the basics of:
- Disaster medical operations
Although not included in the CERT training, some of our members are certified for CPR and/or HAM radio operation.
The primary function of CERT is to provide emergency response in our community for disasters such as hurricanes and tsunamis until such time as the professional emergency First Responders arrive on the scene. CERT is not intended to be a permanent substitute for fire, police, or ambulance services. Each CERT member is required to tend to his/her own family and home first before reporting for community assistance.
