Welcome to the Rowlett CERT Open House
Why CERT?
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may occur where they live.
CERT trains volunteers in basic disaster response skills, such as:
Fire safety
Light search and rescue
Team organization
Disaster medical operations
Drills and Exercises
Drills are excellent opportunities for CERT programs to practice, assess and improve emergency response plans and on-the-ground operations while engaging their volunteers and refreshing the concepts and skills learned in CERT training.
It is important that CERT programs tailor their exercises to reflect realistic events that may impact their community to practice skills they need to test or practice most.
Response teams need to regularly drill and exercise to effectively identify and address potential weaknesses in their emergency plans, improve coordination and communication between team members, build muscle memory for critical actions, and ensure they can react quickly and efficiently in real emergency situations, ultimately minimizing damage and protecting lives.
Time for a get together.
Now is the time to come out and play. North Texas CERT teams have an opportunity to come together for fellowship and fun.
The Rowlett CERT Open House will be filled with the opportunity to practice your skills and spend time with other North Texas CERT Teams. We’ll have food, fun and drinks for everyone.
Join us for a memorable event!
This is one you don’t want to miss.
