| What is CERT Training
|
CERT training covers basic skills that are important to know in a disaster when emergency services are not available. With training and practice, and by working as a team, you will be able to protect yourself and maximize your capability to help for the greatest number of people after a disaster. Before, during, and after disasters, CERT volunteer teams perform basic response activities, including checking in on neighbors, distributing information to the public, supporting emergency operations centers, and helping to manage traffic and crowds. Local CERT programs train and organize teams of volunteers to assist their families, neighbors, co-workers, and other community members.

TIFF is an emergency contact registration tied to a person's driver's license or state ID. This simple, yet life-changing step, provides law enforcement who "you" want contacted on your behalf when the unexpected emergency happens. It's easy, only taking a couple minutes, free and uses your current driver's license or State-issued I.D. Card. Taking just a few minutes today could make all the difference tomorrow. The link is to Florida registration.
