The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) began promoting nationwide use of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) concepts in 1994.

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness and provides valuable training. CERT participants learn about hazards in their area, disaster preparedness tactics, and basic disaster response skills, including:

• Fire Safety
• Light Search and Rescue
• Team Organization
• Disaster Medical Operations
