Preparing community members
The idea for the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program originated during
the late-1980s through the The Los Angeles Fire Department. Then in 1993, The Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) made the program available across the country to
help train citizens in disaster response skills. 
CERT members can assist their community during a major emergency when professional help is unavailable. The FEMA CERT Basic Training includes lessons in fire safety, disaster medical operations, light search and rescue, disaster triage and team organization. CERTs can be found across the country, including at the county and city level, as well as on college and high school campuses. FGCU’s CERT is a student organization, which is an adaptation of the above FEMA program, tailored to our campus and community. Our program is designed for students, faculty, and staff at FGCU who receive both the CERT Basic Training as well as advanced training in specific areas to maximize our effectiveness.
