Question
What is CERT?
Answer
CERT stands for Community Emergency Response Team. It is a training program that prepares people to help themselves, their families and their community. Through CERT, citizens can learn about disaster preparedness and receive training in basic disaster response skills such as fire safety, light search and rescue, and disaster medical operations. With this training, volunteers can provide critical support by giving immediate assistance to victims before emergency first responders arrive on scene. CERT volunteers also support the community year-round by participating in community preparedness outreach activities. For more information about CERT contact Edward Rock of the Kosciusko County Emergency Management Agency at 574-371-2602.
