As a member of the City’s CERT – as well as your own neighborhood CERT – you will be expected to provide assistance in major disasters, especially those where first responders (fire department, paramedics, police, etc.) are unable to respond. If such a disaster occurs, your first responsibility will be to make sure you and your family is safe. After that, and depending on the nature of the event, you will either work out from your home (or wherever you are at the time) taking care of neighbors or you will report to a staging area for further instruction.
