CERT Community Volunteers

Fair Lawn is fortunate to have over 40 CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) volunteers.

If a disastrous event overwhelms or delays the community’s professional response team, CERT members assist others until help arrives.  They are trained in first aid/CPR, shelter management, fire suppression, traffic and crowd control and many other areas of emergency rescue.  CERT members can be identified by their green vests, and often cooperate with the Police Department assisting with traffic control during community events.
