What is CERT? CERT seeks to educate people about disaster preparedness and trains them in basic disaster response skills. CERT is an acronym for Community Emergency Response Team. There are teams organized throughout the country to aid first responders in the event of disasters. Our teams have assisted organizing in staffing sheltering for evacuations as well as sand bagging in times of flooding.
