CERT is about readiness, people helping people, rescuer safety, and doing the greatest good for the greatest
number. CERT is a positive realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens will be initially on
their own and their actions can make a difference. Through training, citizens can manage utilities and put out small fires;
treat the three killers by opening airways, controlling bleeding, and treating for shock; provide basic medical aid; search
for and rescue victims safely; and organize themselves and spontaneous volunteers to be effective.
