CERT in Action!!!

CERT in Action! is about sharing the stories of local CERT Programs whose Teams have responded in emergencies, assisted in public safety efforts, or participated in other community service projects. Beyond training, drills and exercises, "CERT in Action!" captures how Teams make a difference in their community. The shared stories will enable all CERT Programs to benefit from the experiences of individual programs. Additional stories will be added to the site regularly.
