CERT-ified for a Safe and Secure Community

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a training program that teaches people how to prepare for and respond to emergencies. CERT training teaches disaster response skills such as fire safety, light search and rescue, and disaster medical operations. Here are some reasons why it is crucial to get CERT certified:

Be better prepared for emergencies: CERT training teaches valuable skills to help you better prepare for emergencies. By learning how to turn off utilities, search for and rescue victims, and provide basic medical care, you can help protect yourself and your loved ones during a disaster.

Help your community: CERT-trained individuals can use their skills to help their community in a disaster. Volunteering as a CERT member can help your community respond to and recover from emergencies.

Enhance your resume: Many employers value CERT training because it demonstrates a commitment to emergency preparedness and a willingness to serve the community. CERT training on your resume can set you apart from other job candidates and make you more attractive to potential employers.

Get involved: CERT training is a great way to get involved in your community and make a positive impact. By participating in CERT training, you can learn valuable skills and make a difference in the lives of others.

Overall, CERT training is a significant opportunity to learn valuable skills that can help you prepare for and respond to emergencies. By getting CERT certified, you can help protect yourself and your loved ones and positively impact your community.

Johnathan created the earliest version of what’s known as LAIT911 today in early 2021 – looking for a way to collate data on the major, destructive incidents that occur each day and greatly impact our public safety. With massive public interest in his research, Johnathan began to open his data to the public, offering it via a custom-built web application. As interest grew, he realized that the data at hand can serve a great humanitarian purpose of keeping communities informed in disaster. Johnathan continues to serve on the Board of Directors and as the charity’s Director of Operations, donating his time and continuing to further the reach of LAIT911’s resources.
