Community Emergency Response Team (cert)
  The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program was developed in 1985 to prepare citizens to help themselves and their neighbors during the early stages of a catastrophic disaster. CERT volunteers are given 20 hours of basic training in disaster survival and rescue skills that would improve the chances for citizens to survive until professional responders or other assistance arrive. The Citizen Corps Program was created to head this effort through education, training and volunteer service to help their communities be better prepared to respond to threats of terrorism, crime, public health issues, & disasters. CERT is under FEMA and Homeland Security. Sixty four volunteer residents of Fearrington Village have completed the 20 hour CERT training program and meet regularly to practice skills. Your CERT volunteers are trained to canvass their neighborhoods, extinguish small fires, shut-off outside gas/water valves to damaged houses, perform light search and rescue operations, render basic first-aid, assist in opening a shelter, and direct residents who come forward to assist. Our CERT pledge is to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people. After a disaster, the CERT volunteer will first take care of their family and immediate neighborhood and then report to the Emergency Operations Center located at the Fearrington Cares office for assignment with other Village CERT Teams. For your CERT Team to be effective, all residents are urged to return the completed Voluntary Emergency Information Registration Form (choose one format below). IMPORTANT: If there have been recent changes in your household regarding needs and capabilities of any resident(s), be sure to complete and turn in a new form so the content will be up to date!
