CERT operates under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security but is locally directed, and self-funded. CERT is completely staffed by your friends and neighbors.

PC CERT was formed in 2012 as a backup organization for the First Responder agencies. We serve Putnam County by providing a highly trained core of volunteers in times of disaster. We also provide community support for events as well as emergency communications.
