CERT
CERT stands for "Community Emergency Response Team"
A CERT team is a group of individuals in the community that have training to respond in a disaster before the emergency First Responders are able to get on scene. This training is organized by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). Duties that this group may perform could include light search and rescue, medical emergencies, and helping people to safe zones after a major disaster. Congerville EMA would like to encourage individuals to consider joining this group of people to help out in a disaster.
