About O.E.M/C.E.R.T
Our organization is built in 2 categories, OEM (Office of Emergency Management) and CERT (Community Emergency Response Team).
FFB OEM (Office of Emergency Management) , After the disaster the Office of Emergency Management coordinates and assists with the recovery efforts to restore our community.The OEM maintains the Basic Emergency Operations Plan and Annexes covering everything from public warning to terrorism incident response. OEM works closely with City departments, non-profit agencies, hospitals, schools, the military and many other elements of our overall community when developing emergency management plans.
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program is a nationally supported, locally implemented initiative that teaches people how to better prepare themselves for hazards that may affect their communities. Since 1993, CERT trains the public in basic disaster response skills such as team organization, disaster medical operations, fire safety, and light search and rescue. The ability for CERT volunteers to perform these activities frees up professional responders to focus their efforts on more complex, essential, and critical tasks.
