CERTs provide pre-positioned resources (equipment and trained personnel) at the neighborhood level to help in the first few hours or days after a large scale emergency, when 911 may be overwhelmed.
In nearly all large scale disasters, the first responders are local survivors helping their neighbors. FEMA sponsors the CERT program to pre-position resources that might make a difference in such an emergency.
It has two primary components:
Training and education, to help people better help each other.
Pre-positioned emergency equipment and supplies
Personal readiness (e.g. Go bags)
Community readiness (Caches of equipment and supplies)
