As a resident of the Town of Hollis, NH, I agree that the town of Hollis should consider creating a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program. CERT programs educate people about disaster preparedness and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, and disaster medical operations. Using their training, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event and can take a more active role in preparing their community.
