About Beaverton's CERT Program
The Beaverton Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a group of trained volunteers from the community who assist emergency response personnel during disasters and emergencies. Citizens in the community are trained to cut off utilities, put out small fires, administer first aid, search for victims, organize themselves, and collect disaster intelligence to support first responder efforts.
