      The Phoenix Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program empowers residents to take an active role in emergency preparedness and response. The classroom training and team-building exercises will help you acquire the skills needed to assist others in your neighborhood or workplace after an incident when professional responders are not immediately available to help.
