Community Emergency Response Team- Rescue Members

The CERT was first thought of and implemented by the Los Angeles Fire Department in the year 1985. A CERT should be sponsored by the local government agency and the goal of this community system is to save the people when any kinds of disaster takes place, which is usually the fire department or an emergency management agency. Concept of Community EmergencyResponse Teams is the full form of CERT. The state Citizen Corps generally funds the CERT program on the regular basis. We offer the best training and rescue services across the world.

Though CERT members are trained to respond to emergencies, they also do have other duties when required. They also put up funds to buy emergency medical kits and other medical equipment to make them available while any disaster takes place. They either conduct or take part in disaster response exercises, and recruit and train new members.

At the time of disaster, members of the CERT team help people and perform varied rescue tasks during emergencies. In this way trained medics can completely concentrate on more technical tasks. CERT members are trained in courses such as hospital care, fire safety, disaster preparedness, rescue operations, disaster medical operations, and disaster psychology. All the members of the CERT team should have a basic knowledge of using medical equipment.
