Community Emergency Response Team

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, O3C (Organizational Conciliation Community Collaboration) and our community have recognized the critical need for a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) to better prepare for future emergencies and disasters. The CERT will provide essential support during crises, enhance community resilience, and promote safety through training and coordinated efforts. By volunteering for the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), you can play a vital role in helping our community respond effectively to emergencies, assist neighbors in need, and foster a culture of preparedness.  

This form is designed to gather your contact information, skills, and availability to create a strong network of volunteers ready to serve when it matters most. We appreciate your willingness to contribute to our community’s safety and well-being. Together, we can make a difference!
