Week 4: Get Involved in Your Community's Preparedness
Helpful Tips to Get Involved in Community Preparedness:
- Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) trains volunteers to prepare for the types of disasters that their community may face. Find your local CERT: https://community.fema.gov/Register/Register_Search_Programs
- Learn about the hazards most likely to affect your community and their appropriate responses.
- Every community has voluntary organizations that work during disasters. Visit https://www.nvoad.org to see what organizations are active in your community.
- Encourage students to join Teen CERT so they can respond during emergencies. Learn more: www.fema.gov/media-library/assets/documents/28048
- Your community needs YOU! Find youth volunteer and training opportunities to help your community here: www.ready.gov/youth-preparedness
- Finding support from friends, family, and community organizations can help kids cope with #disasters.
- Take classes in lifesaving skills, such as CPR/AED and first aid, or in emergency response, such as CERT.
- Check in with neighbors to see how you can help each other out before and after a storm.
- If you have a disability, plan ahead for accessible transportation that you may need for evacuation or getting to a medical clinic. Work with local services, public transportation or paratransit to identify accessible transportation options. www.ready.gov/disability
- If you have a disability contact your city or county government’s emergency management agency or office. Many keep lists of people with disabilities so they can be helped quickly in a sudden emergency. www.ready.gov/disability
