Mission and Purpose
Community Emergency Response Team's (CERT) mission is simple: "Do the greatest good for the greatest number of people" when a major disaster strikes our community. CERT's are formed by members of a neighborhood or workplace who want to be better prepared for the hazards that threaten their communities. Long Beach CERT Volunteers in cooperation with the Long Beach Fire Department are committed to this community's disaster preparation.
Long Beach CERT provides the necessary training required by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to our community members. When a major disaster does strike, you will have the skills and knowledge to assist neighbors, co-workers, and professional rescue personnel. Your leadership and care will help those around you after a major disaster until professional emergency services arrive.
The Long Beach Fire Department has an assigned CERT Coordinator, for questions you may e-mail the coordinator at CERT@longbeach.gov.
