Potter County Department of Emergency Services builds
teams of local residents who are trained to react to disasters and other public
emergencies, so that they can assist fire, ambulance, and other personnel.
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training educates people about fire
safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical
operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises,
CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace. Each local
CERT has a leader and a designated meeting area. For more information, call
274-8900 or see the FEMA/CERT website.
