Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

CERT, or "Community Emergency Response Team," is an organization of volunteers trained to assist police and other first responders in the event of a disaster, community crisis or other major incident. The Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have been working with local municipalities by providing training materials and funding assistance. One aspect of CERT is educating the public on how to reduce the risks of personal injury and property damage during times of crisis.

If you are interested in joining CERT, please contact Deputy Chief David Webb at (630) 372-4418.
