COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is about readiness, people helping people, rescuer safety, and doing the greatest good for the greatest number. CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency situations where citizens will be initially on their own and their actions can make a difference. Through training, citizens can manage utilities and put out small fires; treat the three killers by opening airways, controlling bleeding, and treating for shock; provide basic first aid; search for and rescue victims safely; and to be effective during an emergency.
Community Emergency Response Team Training is available to churches, businesses, and neighborhood groups in our region!
BRADD Citizens Corps Council was formed as part of a National and statewide effort designed to help neighborhoods prepare for and respond to catastrophic disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and other major emergencies.
CERT Volunteers are specifically needed to provide support to local agencies and to help with large scale urban shelters in case of future emergency needs!!
