The Emergency Preparedness Division Provides a Community and Family Preparedness Program with the support of State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA).
Preparedness is everyone's job. Not just government agencies but all sectors of society - service providers, business, civic and volunteer groups, industry associations, as well as every individual citizen - should plan ahead for disaster. During the first few hours or days following a disaster, essential services may not be available. People must be ready to act on their own.
Community Emergency Response Training gives both theoretical and practical experiences that will prepare you, your family and your neighbors to better cope with a disastrous situation. Neighbors helping each other can make a big difference.
Experience is proven that the first three days after a disaster are critical. That is also the time when emergency services may be unavailable. By teaching the basics of emergency preparedness, disaster medicine and light search and rescue, the Northland CERT Emergency Management Agency hopes to empower individuals to feel confident enough to take control of an emergency and do what is best for their families and immediate neighborhood.
