Florida CERT was organized to support and direct statewide training and education in disaster planning and
preparedness.
In addition we have the goal of increasing community awareness of disaster preparedness.
Florida CERT members provide assistance to any government agency that requests volunteer services in any capacity.
Contact with other Emergency Management related organizations, and coordination of annual CERT Conferences.
CERT Teams can make the difference by using their training to save lives and protect property. With training,
practice, and working together as a team, CERT members will be able to do the “greatest good for the greatest
number” after a disaster, while protecting themselves from becoming victims.
Upon completion of “CERT” training, teams are encouraged to continue training, drilling and develop neighborhood
networks of resources so their teams may build, grow and flourish within the community.
CERT Teams are often utilized by local emergency agencies for a variety of functions, such as firefighter rehab
teams, special needs neighborhood canvassing, working in drills for and with emergency responders, all kinds of
disaster mitigation tasks, the list goes on and on.
Organization members can participate in disaster training exercises conducted by various government organizations
throughout the State of Florida. Annual disaster drills conducted by Universal Studios, State and Local Emergency
Management Agencies at the Florida Statewide CERT Conference. |
