NKCERT is a group of 20 volunteers trained in basic disaster response skills, including fire safety, light search and rescue,
team organization, and disaster medical operations. These volunteers can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace
following an event when professional responders are not immediately available. When a disaster occurs, CERT members
apply their skills in several ways. They provide immediate aid by offering basic medical assistance to those with injuries.
They conduct light search and rescue, locating and assisting individuals trapped in damaged structures. They help control
hazards by identifying and mitigating immediate dangers such as small fires or gas leaks. They also organize resources,
establishing a command post and managing volunteers and supplies. Finally, they support professional responders by
taking on non -critical tasks, allowing those responders to focus on more complex emergencies.
