Following a major disaster, first responders who provide fire and medical services will not be able to meet the demand for services. Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) provides training in how to prepare for and respond to disasters, so that residents can help each other and assist professional responders during disasters.

Northern Sonoma County CERT Team (NoSoCoCERT) is a non-profit organization operating in partnership with FEMA. We are sponsored by the Northern Sonoma County Fire Protection District and Cloverdale Fire Protection District. NoSoCoCERT was established in 2019 and has trained more than 200 volunteers in emergency preparedness and response. The actions of our CERT members can make a real difference.
