"Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." - Theodore Roosevelt
For nearly 40 years, CERT programs have been preparing their community to stay safe and save lives during a disaster. Across the nation, over half a million CERT trained volunteers are committed to, "doing the greatest good, for the greatest number, in the shortest amount of time." The NCA, in partnership with FEMA, works towards building and increasing the capacity for CERT programs across the nation to train, support, and utilize their CERT members.
Join the National CERT Association today, and together, through hard work and dedication, we will do great things.
