Community Emergency Response Team...

 

  Neighbors Helping Neighbors--

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program trains people to be prepared for emergency situations in their community and neighborhood.  CERT members provide immediate assistance to victims, collect disaster information to support first responder efforts, and provide that first neighborhood help in the immediate hours following a major emergency.  CERT is families helping themselves and neighbors helping neighbors to prepare, respond, and recover in their own neighborhood. 

South Trail Fire & Rescue District personnel are now training volunteers to serve on Community Emergency Response Teams in their own neighborhoods.  Adults of all ages (ages 14-17 with parent's permission), physical capabilities, and without any previous experience may become valuable CERT members. 

For more information on becoming a CERT volunteer,
