The Community Emergency and Engagement (C2E) Committees, an amalgamation of the former Emergency Preparedness (EP) Group and Civil Defence Executive Committees (CDEC), are the community EP units formed in each constituency. During peace time, C2E Committees develop and maintain the Community EP plans, structures and systems. They organise exercises and EP activities to stay prepared and ensure operational readiness during emergencies. The C2E Committees also partner various government emergency authorities to educate public about Community EP.

𝗖𝗘𝗥𝗧 stands for 𝗖ommunity 𝗘mergency 𝗥esponse 𝗧eam. CERT is an organised group of volunteers specially trained to respond to an emergency and assist the community in the recovery process. CERT strengthens the emergency response capabilities of the local community as its members are able to render basic first aid, evacuation and crowd control before as well as after the emergency authorities arrive
First formed in 2004 as part of the Residents’ Committees (RC) and Neighbourhood Committees (NC) to support the EP Group and CDEC, CERT members are made up of grassroots leaders and residents who stay in the vicinity.
