A little CERT goes a long way!

Is there a Community Emergency Response Team in your town or neighborhood? Be a CERT member! Even if you can not commit to volunteering in a disaster, the least you can do is be ready for your family.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), began promoting nationwide use of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) concept in 1994. Since then, CERT's have been established in hundreds of communities through out the country.
