Job description
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness, hazards that may impact our area, and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks.
The Plantation CERT may be called upon by any City Department to assist in activities within the scope of their training. Such activities may occur during times of disaster, emergency response, or planned civic events.
By completing and submitting this application you are volunteering to serve as a member of the City of Plantation's Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). There is no expectation of pay or remuneration for duties performed as part of the organization.
CERT is a unit of the Plantation Fire Department engaged in specific emergency response and community service activities. While the Fire Department takes all necessary steps to ensure member health and safety, at times the work may be physically demanding, emotionally stressful, and present limited personal risk.
As a CERT member you also have the right to refuse to participate in any activity which you feel may subject you to potential harm.
