Our Community Emergency Response Team

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.

Flagler County has a comprehensive disaster plan. As part of that plan, they train local Community Emergency Response Teams. So far Flagler County has provided 12+ hours of training to 7 Plantation Oaks residents who serve as our CERT. This team is prepared to respond to any local disaster.
