Our Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) provides training, structure, and accountability for citizen volunteers of the Town of Black Mountain in serving their community during disasters.

The CERT also deploys to non-emergency events and emergency scenes, which provides opportunities for members to serve by collaborating with each other, practicing their skills, and operating within the town’s public safety (Police & Fire) chain of command. 

Necessarily, members of the CERT are trained, equipped, and prepared to survive disasters in their own home– so CERT membership is by default a form of disaster preparedness for our community.
