BayCERT
The Full Story
What is CERT
CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) is a national program designed to train local citizens in community emergency preparedness. The course prepares participants to be self-sufficient and knowledgeable in the steps of emergency response.
CERT members provide immediate assistance to victims, coordinate spontaneous volunteers who have not had training and collect disaster information that will assist first responders with prioritization and allocation of resources when they arrive.
BayCERT
BayCERT is the combined Seabrook, La Porte and Webster teams working together to build a broader network for communication and community awareness.
BayCERT has provided assistance with police dispatch, traffic control, aid distribution centers such as PODS during Hurricane Ike and shelter management during the Emerald Shores Apartments and La Maison Apartments fires. BayCERT works directly with the Seabrook, La Porte and Webster Offices of Emergency Management.
