Webinar: Local Partnerships Between the
American Red Cross and CERT
The American Red Cross and Community
Emergency Response Teams (CERT) serve communities throughout the United States
in a variety of ways before, during, and after emergencies. But while both
programs accomplish a great deal individually, they can do even more when they
work together. As partners, CERT and American Red Cross programs and volunteers
can work to advance their mutual goals of increasing the preparedness and
resilience of local neighborhoods and communities and offering vital assistance
and support in the aftermath of disasters.
The
FEMA Individual and Community Preparedness Division invites you to join a
webinar that showcases successful partnerships between local American
Red Cross regions and CERT programs. Three
sets of American Red Cross and CERT programs serving three unique jurisdictions will discuss how they are working together to
make their communities safer, stronger, and more resilient. Presenters will
share how they established their partnerships, what lessons they learned from
the experience, and how their collaboration benefitted their programs and
communities. The webinar will conclude with a question and answer session.
