Welcome to South Gate CERT!

Community education and self-reliance is paramount to the overall success of any City's ability to respond and recover effectively in time of crisis. With the goal of community readiness. The CERT program is about community readiness, people helping people, rescuer safety, and doing the greatest good for the greatest number. CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where community members will be initially on their own and their actions can make a difference.

South Gate holds CERT classes in both English and Spanish every year. Explorer Post #1969 (Police) and Explorer Post 13 (Fire) also completed CERT as a joint team.

ACERT Members volunteer as Disaster Service Workers and agree to be available on a 24-hour call out list; agree to respond to a pre-established Emergency Response Area / Command Post when activated; assist City emergency response teams and emergency services agencies as directed; and participate in other city, county, and state emergency activations. ACERT members participate in ongoing and expanded emergency response training.
