- Ways to Participate
Sheltering is not a primary task for CERT. But when all other options are stretched to their limit, CERT will step in to help get the job done. We will be providing a safe and welcoming place for all those affected by disaster. As a shelter worker you may be asked to perform duties in any one of three keys areas; registration, feeding or dormitory management.
CERT Disaster Communications team member will, as needed, be tasked with providing effective communication in the event of a disaster as well as arranging radio support for drills, exercises or other CERT events.
As a member of the Speakers Bureau you will be asked to deliver vital emergency preparedness messaging to groups and individuals in a wide variety of settings from more formal presentations to staffing an information booth at a community event.
There are also several other CERT programs available in the county! Visit the CERT Council for a complete list of other CERT programs.
