Our Mission
|
In disaster situations, first responders can rapidly be overwhelmed with response tasks.
Murray County CERT is designed to help relieve some of the strain with trained volunteers and a more prepared citizenry.
|
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may occur where they live.
CERT trains volunteers in basic disaster response skills, such as:
- Fire safety
- Light search and rescue
- Team organization
- Disaster medical operations
The CERT program offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks.
