CERT Mission and Purpose
The Town of Mammoth Lakes Community Emergency
Response Team ( CERT) is a volunteer organization
comprised of members of the community who are trained
in basic emergency response and disaster preparedness.
CERT's primary mission is to assist the community during
a wide array of emergencies. In the event of an emergency,
CERT volunteers may be activated to assist emergency first
responders who may not be immediately available.
CERT volunteers are utilized as a supplemental resource to
provide basic care, stabilization and information until
emergency responders can arrive on scene.
Secondarily, CERT volunteers will focus on public
education, community projects, and training in order to
increase the emergency preparedness level for themselves
and other members of the community within the Town of
Mammoth Lakes.
