Community Emergency Response Team Logo

The Community Emergency Response Team is a Citizen Volunteer Program where you assist with EOC as incidents, events and exercises dictate, including support and facilitation, of Incident, Unified, and area Commanders and working and coordinating with other agencies to ensure the City Infrastructure. 

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.

The Scappoose Police Department Supports an active CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) team made up of dedicated community members who are trained to respond in the event of a disaster.To learn more about CERT please visit the FEMA website.
