CERT stands for Community Emergency Response Team. This is an important program under the Citizen Corps, established by the Homeland Security Department.

The members are volunteers and receive proper instruction on how to prevent and react before difficult times or natural disasters. That is why it is important that CERT do community work to inform and teach the community about basic procedures that can keep them safe.
