The history of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training created by the Los Angeles City Fire Department (LAFD) as told from those who created it back in 1986.
This program was created to train community members to be prepared for a catastrophic disaster such as an severe earthquake. LAFD knew that during a regional disaster, they would not have the resources to help everyone. By providing basic training in disaster survival and rescue skills, they would dramatically improve the ability for community members to survive and to safely help others until professional responders could arrive.
