Learn about the Northern Iowa Community Emergency Response Team in Cerro Gordo County.

CERT is about preparedness – people helping people, safety, and doing the greatest good for the greatest number. CERT is a realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens will be initially on their own and their actions can make a difference. CERT members have a better understanding of the potential threats to their home, workplace and community and can take steps to lessen the effects of these hazards on themselves, their homes or workplace.

CERT can provide operational and logistical support to all City, County, State and Federal Emergency Services.
