Church Emergency Response Team 
(CERT)

Serve our Parish through CERT
As a parish family, we are called to care for one another in our community. The Church of St Teresa is forming a

Church Emergency Response Team (CERT)
- a team of parishioners ready to respond calmly and with compassion in emergency situations at weekend Masses and special parish events.
CERT members will serve in:
• First Aid
• Fire Safety
• Emergency coordination and assistance
The team is coordinated by the Parish Emergency Preparedness Taskforce (PEPT), which oversees the parish’s emergency readiness and training.
 

CERT (Church Emergency Response Team) is the trained team of parishioners who respond on the ground during emergencies at weekend Masses and parish events.

​

• Every CERT team includes:
a. 1 Site Incident Controller
b. Fire Responders
