Our program is based on the neighbor helping neighbor principle. To be a CERT team member takes a commitment; a commitment to give your time and energy to an organization everyone hopes will never be called into action. The benefits will reach beyond emergency response. As evidenced in other parts of the country, neighborhoods become more cohesive, new lasting friends are made, and members truly feel a part of the community.
