what is baycert?

BayCERT is based in Seabrook, Texas, and helps La Porte, El Lago, Pasadena, Deer Park, Baytown, Webster, and Nassau Bay. The team works with Harris County Precinct 2. BayCERT has provided police dispatch support, traffic control, aid distribution (PODS) during Hurricane Ike, and shelter management during the Emerald Shores Apartments and La Maison Apartments fires.

 

Why CERT?

In a major disaster, fire, EMS, and police go first to collapsed buildings and other critical scenes. Neighbors must be ready to take care of themselves and each other until help can reach them.

What is cert?

CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) is a national program that trains local citizens in community emergency preparedness. The course prepares participants to be self-sufficient and knowledgeable in emergency response. Members provide immediate assistance to victims, coordinate spontaneous volunteers who have not had training, and collect disaster information that helps first responders prioritize and allocate resources when they arrive.
