Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
The
(CERT) Program educates people
about disaster preparedness and trains them in basic disaster response
skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, and disaster
medical operations. Using their training, CERT members can assist others
in their neighborhood or workplace following an event and can take a
more active role in preparing their community. The program is
administered by the Department of Homeland Security. Montgomery County
teaches CERT annually. For more information about attending classes
contact Montgomery County EMA at (931) 648-5702.
