Easy Steps to Preparedness: Build a Go-Bag

Join us as members of the Community Emergency Response Team give a presentation on being Disaster Ready.   Disasters can happen at any time and it can be confusing to know what to take with you when you only have moments to decide.  Learn how to build a personalized Go-Bag to help you and your family prepare for and recover from disaster. (10+)

Local government prepares for everyday emergencies. However, during a disaster, the number and scope of incidents can overwhelm conventional emergency services. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is an all-risk, all-hazard training. This valuable course is designed to help you protect yourself, your family, your neighbors, and your neighborhood in an emergency situation.

CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens may initially be on their own and their actions can make a difference. While people will respond to others in need without the training, one goal of the CERT program is to help them do so effectively and efficiently without placing themselves in unnecessary danger.
