As demonstrated by
a variety of man-made and natural events that have already occurring
during the 21st century, it is imperative that we are prepared for any
type of disaster or emergency. Located just outside of Washington, DC
and near major communications infrastructure and military bases, Laurel
citizens have unique reasons to be prepared for emergencies.
To help prepare
residents and respond to emergencies, the City of Laurel has created a
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). CERT's mission is to
facilitate the development of a community-based disaster response plan
for the City of Laurel to ensure the city is prepared for any type of
emergency. CERT supports Laurel’s disaster planning by coordinating with
other agencies, developing tabletop exercises, reviewing disaster plans,
and enhancing communication.
