Get Off The Sidelines And Get Involved

 

New York City needs your help. Emergencies happen every day and sometimes even the finest first responders in the world can use a little community assistance.

OEM's Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) are groups of community-based volunteers trained in disaster preparedness and emergency response. The training, run by OEM, the Police Department, and the Fire Department, spans 11 weeks and covers topics like fire safety, light search and rescue, and disaster medical operations.

A new training cycle begins in February. If you are over 18 and you are interested in helping your community prepare for anything and everything, call the CERT hotline (718) 422-8585, or email cert@oem.nyc.gov.
