LCCERT is actively recruiting adult volunteers (age 18 and older) who want to make a difference in their communities. Whether you’re a retiree with time to give, a professional seeking meaningful service, or someone passionate about preparedness, CERT offers the opportunity to learn life-saving skills and help others during critical times.

CERT members are trained in disaster preparedness, fire safety, basic first aid, light search and rescue, animal response, and more. You don’t need previous experience—just a willingness to serve. Training is free and provided by certified instructors through FEMA and partner agencies.
CERT volunteers support the county in a variety of ways—from setting up shelters and assisting with traffic control to conducting public outreach and helping organize emergency drills. LCCERT also has fun opportunities to serve at events like Lincoln Days, Corona Days, and the County Fair.
