Learn about Community District # 16' s Community Emergency Response Team
NYC CERT teams are groups of neighborhood and community-based volunteers that undergo an intensive training program in disaster preparedness and basic response skills. After completing training, these teams act to support their local communities by assisting the various emergency agencies that prepare for and respond to disasters.
As a rule, emergency services personnel are the best equipped to respond to emergencies. However, following a catastrophic disaster, CERT teams can handle initial emergency recovery while they wait for professional First Responders.
For more information about Community District #16's CERT please call the Board's office at (718) 385-0323.
