Guadalupe County CERT

Guadalupe County CERT The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is an emergency preparedness program supported by the Department of Homeland Security. What is CERT?

FEMA began promoting nationwide the use of CERT concept in 1994 based on a model created and implemented by the Los Angeles City Fire Department in 1985. Guadalupe County CERT members receive special training to enhance their ability to support the Guadalupe County Office of Emergency Management, city first responders and all other city departments during emergency/disaster events. Guadalupe Count

y CERT is seeking additional team members to assist when the next flood, fire or other emergency event occurs in Guadalupe County. Members range from high school students to retirees - and everyone brings something to the table. WHY JOIN Guadalupe County CERT? Guadalupe County CERT provides an excellent opportunity for the citizens of our community to play an important role in helping safeguard, prepare for and respond to major emergencies and disasters. If a disastrous event overwhelms or delays the City’s professional responders, Guadalupe County CERT members can be called upon to assist others by applying their training. Their skills can assist in saving property and lives until additional help arrives and then they can continue to assist the professionals in a variety of ways. In a disaster people want to help but many are turned away because of the time and resources it takes to train or to determine what skills a volunteer has to offer. Guadalupe County CERT is an avenue for people to be involved in the process and help protect the community, as well as their own family members. How do you join Guadalupe County CERT? A community that is better prepared will recover faster and the long term effects are not as devastating. Become a Guadalupe County CERT member today, training is FREE!
