Approval of March 20, 2017 Minutes Georgiana Motions, Clem Seconds 3. CERTs Presentation Mark Hove, a Falcon Heights resident and CERT, presented on some introductory information about CERTs. CERT, Citizens Emergency Response Team, started in 2003. It’s intentions are to equip citizens for emergencies and if willing, to utilize that training to help neighbors. CERTs work with the Fire and Police Departments to help support the community when they are short on staff during emergencies. They assist in what ways they can until a professional can take over. In regards to numbers, they try to keep the amount of trained CERTs equally spread out in different quadrants. Ideally, they would have one CERT per block. 4.
