CERT Members should register as "participants" unless you prefer not to take part in the activities but rather work behind the scenes as a volunteer. Your team affiliation is "Strafford County CERT."


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. CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) organizes and utilizes public health and medical volunteers. These volunteers prepare for and respond to emergencies and act as a support to existing public health and emergency resources. Retired professionals, who have maintained their credentials, and would be available during disaster, are especially needed.
