ERT Volunteer (Early Response Volunteer)
ERT Volunteer (Early Response Volunteer) – as an ERT, you are not the first responder (medical, electric company, fire department, local CERT are the first responders) but after the area is declared safe and survivors are found, this is the first group that comes in to clear debris, tarp roofs, etc.
Time Commitment:
- 8 hour certification class
- Availability to respond shortly after disaster strikes locally and regionally for either a day trip or multi-day trip.
