About CERT Districts
Cobb EMA has established operational divisions in order to enhance the readiness of Cobb CERT members. Cobb Districts are not being developed to create separate concepts, but rather to determine the best operational procedures for all of Cobb CERT and to implement them in a “team” or District. For instance, the District Leaders might elect to have one exercise to evaluate search and rescue from house to house, communication, and triage. Each District may then select the best threat for their exercise—chemical spill, tornado, flood, etc., but the goals will be the same—to evaluate search and rescue, communication, and triage.
The CERT Districts were developed based on the following:
- The need exists to develop an enhancing program to include drills and team building.
- Cobb CERT membership will be better served by an operational training program covering specific assigned geographical areas.
- CERT members within the cities will be working with respective city first responders during a crisis.
- The cities of Powder Springs and Austell have a combined total of 8 CERT members so the challenge is to train additional CERT members in those cities and create separate divisions at a later date.
- Establish Communication Plan and Exercise the Plan
- Establish Incident Command within each District
- Create Exercise Plan
- Create a partnership with first responders within each District
- Provide a social event that each District can attend (1 per/District or hold one social for a couple of districts, etc.)
