Be Prepared to Respond to a Local Disaster or Emergency
Be Prepared to Respond to a Local Disaster or Emergency
Our local government prepares for normal everyday emergencies. However, during a disaster, the number and scope of incidents can overwhelm the conventional emergency services. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program trains and prepares ordinary citizens how to help themselves and help their neighbors.
The size of Burnet County is approximately 1,021 square miles, and the number of victims, possible communication failures, and road blockages may prevent citizens from accessing immediate emergency services through 911 during a major disaster.
