As you watch for a perfect March Madness bracket, don’t forget to build your emergency game plan!

Unlike your bracket, preparedness isn’t about picking winners. You need every piece in place.

Galveston County CERT

Our Community Emergency Response Team was “restarted” by Galveston County Commisioners in 2013. Our goal is to help provide training and events to assure that our county is prepared in an emergency. This page offers tips on preparedness, as well as dates and times of all CERT meetings and events. We will also post information when we have an incident.

Thank you to everyone for checking out our CERT page. Please feel free to ask us questions. We are here to help!
