Today marks the beginning of my official summer internship. I will be at Johnson County Emergency Management & Homeland Security through at least the end of July. My new round of projects includes working on CERT program awareness.
CERT stands for Community Emergency Response Team. The volunteers in CERT go through training that teaches them the skills and knowledge to assist in disaster situations. It will be my job to increase public awareness, obtain community promotions, and assist in managing local Johnson County CERT teams' resources.
In Johnson County, KS, the CERT teams are divided by city. For more information regarding individual CERT teams in this area, click here.
