The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program helps train people to be better prepared to respond to emergency situations in their communities. When emergencies happen, CERT members can give critical support to first responders, provide immediate assistance to victims, and organize spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site. CERT members can also help with non-emergency projects that help improve the safety of the community.
Banks County CERT team members participate in a nine week training course where they learn and practice disaster response skills. After graduation the Team members can continue to volunteer with the Banks County Emergency Management Agency and serve their Community not only during times of Disaster but also during special community events.
