Updating Your CERT Kit

Tuesday February 22, 2022


What is CERT?

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) became a national program in 1993. CERT educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.

One of the most important tools of a CERT Member is their kit and the items inside it. According to LAFD CERT, there are multiple items that are required to be in your kit. Other items are not mandatory, but are recommended. Check the below items against what you have in your kit.

ProPac CERT Kits

ProPac CERT Kits are designed to provide members with the tools they need to complete their response tasks.  These kits contain basic supplies that can help people survive a natural disaster or emergency. They are used by professionals who work in remote locations.

ProPac CERT Kits offer a comprehensive selection of gear and supplies for emergency response team members.  All items are packed in green CERT labeled backpacks or duffle bags and will give experienced team members the tools and safety supplies they'll need to act quickly and make a difference when disaster strikes.  These kits are specifically designed to be used by civilians who have been trained to be Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members.

Here are four ProPac CERT kits that meet the needs of any team member from basic supplies to more extensive gear for the experienced CERT responder...
