Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT
members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following
an event when professional responders are not immediately available to
help.
CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency
response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness
projects in their community. In the event of a disaster, trained
citizens can react as teams and provide basic care that will help limit
further injury to disaster victims and will lessen the possibility of
further damage to property.
