The
Driving Force
The
event that occurred on September 11, 2001
will never be forgotten; also not for-gotten
is how the spirit of America was awakened
that day and citizens came forth to volunteer
their services. President George W. Bush
harnessed this spirit of volunteerism with
the Citizen Corps program. CERT is a part
of the Citizen Corps Program.
Under
the continued leadership of Governor Jon
Corzine,
this administration is dedicated to the
safety and security of the citizens and
the State of New Jersey, and proudly supports
the Citizen Corps initiative. As a part
of this effort, he is calling upon New Jersey
State Employees to be prepared in times
of emergency by becoming a CERT member.
