Save the date for The Patterson Foundation’s second annual CERT Summit

Hosted by the Community Preparedness, Recovery, and Resiliency initiative, this one-day gathering is an opportunity to connect with fellow CERT leaders and volunteers from across the Suncoast.

Come ready to share what’s working, swap ideas, build relationships, and pick up practical tools to help your CERT program grow stronger.

Most of all, it’s a chance to celebrate what CERT is all about: Neighbors Helping Neighbors. We hope you will join us.
