Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a new program to Rowlett.
During a natural or man-made disaster, teams assist emergency response teams in doing damage assessment, accounting for residents and securing quick, accessible routes into their neighborhood. They are trained to be self-sufficient for up to 72 hours without additional resources.
On March 1, 2003, Rowlett completed Phase II of its program with the graduation of a Trainer class with 17 local residents.
Rowlett is actively recruiting residents to be trained in Phase III of the program which includes development and training of twenty-four Neighborhood teams to support our community.
