CERT PURPOSE
Citizens learn the skills needed to respond within their homes and community in the aftermath of a disaster or emergency when professional emergency responders are not immediately available.
Why Volunteer?
We all have a role in hometown security;
A personal responsibility to be prepared and get training in first-aid
and emergency skills;
And to volunteer to support local emergency responders, disaster relief,
and community safety.
CERT TRAINING
is targeted at individuals, or a group
of individuals willing to volunteer to help themselves, their neighbors,
their school, community, church or place of business in an emergency
or disaster.
Need to be Ready
In 95% of all emergencies,
bystanders or victims themselves are the first to provide emergency assistance
or to perform a rescue.
