Jasper County CERT Community Emergency Response Team
What is C.E.R.T.
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness and trains them in basic disaster response skills. These skills include fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using this training, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.
History
The Los Angeles City Fire Department developed and implemented the CERT concept in 1985. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) adopted and expanded the program nationally.
Benefits
- Empowerment: Volunteers gain skills that allow them to protect themselves and their families during emergencies.
- Community Resilience: The presence of trained CERT volunteers enhances the overall preparedness and resilience of the community.
- Cost-Effective: CERT volunteers provide critical support during disasters without the need for substantial financial resources.

Our mission is to equip community members with the skills and knowledge to respond effectively to emergencies and disasters.
