Trained CERT volunteers have participated in many emergency and nonemergency situations.

• The Humble Area CERT in Humble, Texas, staffed a temporary shelter post Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
• In December 2019, several CERTs (collectively known as Rural Region A CERT) in Bates County, Missouri, participated in a missing person search.
• The Newport Beach CERT, one of 480 CERT programs in California called to assist, participated in the cleanup of the catastrophic wildfire in Paradise, California, in March 2019.
• The Atlanta CERT volunteered at the 2019 Atlanta Mayor's 5K.
• In May 2018 nearly 100 CERT volunteers participated in the City of Yacaipa’s countywide CERT training exercise under the guidance of San Bernadino’s Fire Office of Emergency Services.

Remember that CERT needs and training vary from locality to locality, and your participation will vary based upon training.
