The mission of the Clovis Emergency Response Team (CERT) is to harness the power of every individual through education, training and volunteer service to make communities safer, stronger and better prepared to respond to the threats of terrorism, crime, public health issues and disasters.
Citizens who are prepared in advance can work as a team and provide essential services to their neighborhood and workplace in the event of a disaster. By training as a Clovis Emergency Response Team member (CERT), you can play a vital role in the City's disaster recovery efforts.
CERT volunteers reflect the value Clovis citizen's place on public safety and the family values Clovis was built on. Through CERT volunteers, public safety is enhanced at the grass-roots level and citizens have an expanded voice in their community.
Clovis Emergency Response Team (CERT) is endorsed by the Clovis Fire Department. For more information on the Clovis Fire Department or the Clovis Emergency Response Team (CERT), please contact Chad Fitzgerald at (559) 324-2218 or email at chadf@ci.clovis.ca.us.
