East Baton Rouge Parish Community Emergency Response Team (EBRP CERT) Program
When a disaster affects East Baton Rouge Parish, it takes a very special person to leave their home and family to answer the call of volunteering. Volunteers are an essential component to disaster management, and East Baton Rouge Parish’s resiliency would not be what it is if volunteers weren’t a vital part of our community.
MOHSEP’s vision for the East Baton Rouge Parish Community Emergency Response Team (EBRP CERT) is to have a group of well trained, experienced, enthusiastic partners to call upon when disaster strikes our community. This will give us the opportunity to not only have personal interaction with EBRP citizens, but also organize the helping hands that shape our recovery post disaster.
The passion Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome has for this team and MOHSEP’s dedication to providing an educational rewarding experience will hopefully drive EBRP CERT into becoming a reliable organization stakeholders can look to in times of need.
