BCCERT is out in the community this morning assisting the City of Kirby residents as they continue recovering from the straight-line winds that moved through earlier this week by helping gather and remove storm debris.

This is what community resilience looks like neighbors helping neighbors, volunteers stepping up, and residents coming together. We are proud to serve alongside our community and support those working to get back on their feet.

A special thank you to all of the volunteers and residents lending a helping hand. Together, we are stronger, and together, we recover.

🚨How CERT Volunteers Help During Emergencies

Members of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) play an important role in supporting their communities during disasters. Trained volunteers may help by:

✅ Checking on neighbors after disasters
✅ Supporting evacuation shelters
✅ Assisting emergency management with logistics
✅ Providing community preparedness education

CERT volunteers are everyday residents trained to help their community stay safe when emergencies happen and before first responders can reach everyone.

Learn more about the CERT program through the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Bexar County Community Emergency Response Team.
