Community Emergency
Response Team
The Community Emergency
Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster
preparedness and trains them in basic disaster response skills,
such as fire safety, light search and rescue, and disaster
medical operations. Using their training, CERT members can
assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an
event and can take a more active role in preparing their
community. The program is administered by United States
Department of Homeland Security.

towards emergency preparedness at the local level. Classes
range from shelter operations to logistics, depending on the
local chapter. The Red Cross also has volunteer
opportunities in both Alabama and across the country.

training and registration opportunities.
