In 1985, untrained volunteers saved over 800 lives in the Mexico earthquake. Sadly, many volunteers died in the process. This was a high price to pay, but it could have been avoided through training. Then Los Angeles started the first CERT programme in 1986, and many cities followed the lead.
Now CERT programmes are popular in the USA, and over 600,000 people have received the training. Every year, local CERT trainers give a series of lessons.Then throughout the year, they help volunteers practise skills. People of all ages can take part in the CERT programme. There are even special programmes for teenagers, college students and
people in workplaces. Many countries have similar programmes. Lots of people take part in the programme because they believe that everyone in a community has a role in disaster
preparedness. By working properly as a team, CERT volunteers protect not only themselves but also people around them when disasters happen.
