AMERICAN CANYON CERT

Community Emergency Response Team

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 www.americancanyoncert.org

The CERT program offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations. This allows professional responders to focus on more complex tasks.

By taking and completing the CERT course, participants gain the skills and confidence necessary to help themselves, their family, neighbors and community during a disaster.

American Canyon CERT (ACCERT) has a strong, and growing membership. They are widely regarded as leaders within the community, and consistently called upon by multiple agencies to activate in larger scale incidents and community events.
