Irvine Community Emergency Response Team - CERT

Irvine Community Emergency Response Team - CERT The CERT program is about readiness, people helping people, rescuer safety, and doing the greatest good for the greatest number.

The CERT concept was developed and implemented by the Los Angeles City Fire Department in 1985. The Whittier Narrows earthquake in 1987 underscored the area-wide threat of a major disaster in California. Further, it confirmed the need for training civilians to meet their immediate needs. Since 1993 when this training was made available nationally by FEMA, communities in 28 states and Puerto Rico h

ave conducted CERT training. FEMA supports CERT by conducting or sponsoring Train-the-Trainer and Program Manager courses for members of the fire, medical and emergency management community. Source: Department of Homeland Security - Ready.gov
