The Community Emergency Response Team concept was developed and implemented by the Los Angeles City Fire Department (LAFD) in 1985. The program trains citizens to safely help themselves, their family and their neighbors.        SEE CERT OVERVIEW and About SCC CERT

 

The Sun City Center Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) was established in 1995. The trained resident-volunteers are intended to complement professional Fire and Police organizations in disaster situations where the normal rescue and medical services are overwhelmed. CERT training direction is provided by Hillsborough County Fire Rescue (HCFR).

 

SCC CERT maintains its headquarters at 980 North Course Lane and has two store-rooms: door # 4 at South Community Hall and the maintenance store-room, far east side of the North Kings’ Point clubhouse.

 

Residents of Sun City Center and other Hillsborough County residents interested in becoming CERT members should contact William Barron, President via email.
