The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.

After September 11, 2001, America witnessed a wellspring
of selflessness and heroism. People in every corner of the country asked, "What can I do?" and "How can I help?" The Salem NH Citizen Corps is organizing Salem citizens to answer these questions through public education and outreach, training, and volunteer service.
Volunteer opportunities are abundant. All we ask is that you make a commitment to attend training, maintain equipment that you are issued and be ready to respond.
