CERT SAFETYnet Program

When disaster strikes, it is important that all Westshore residents receive the
help and support they need, especially individuals who require specific forms
of assistance due to physical or mental challenges.

OUR PURPOSE

The purpose of the Westshore Regional Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
SAFETYnet Program is to compile a confidential database of special needs residents in the
Westshore Communities. If a disaster were to occur, large or small, volunteer members may be
activated to make contact with SAFETYnet registered residents in the affected areas to check on
their welfare and help meet their emergency needs; a caring connection of neighbors helping
neighbors.

WHO WE ARE

A local and regional part of the Cuyahoga County Citizen Corps, a component of the USA

resilient.
