The Volunteers
|
IN-C.E.R.T. is a new vision in volunteerism. IN-C.E.R.T. is more closely aligned with the commitment, dedication, and professionalism of volunteer fire fighters than with any first response organization in the United States. You will see IN-C.E.R.T. volunteers traveling to various areas of town to assist a community in need. This program brings together varied members of the community and successfully integrates them with significant numbers of police officers, paramedics, fire fighters, military personnel and health care workers.

How do the volunteers find the time to participate?
|
IN-C.E.R.T. has been successful in distributing its response workload among the entire volunteer base. This means that everyone is doing their share, for some that has meant only meeting the yearly minimum of eighty hours of training/events as well as an average of twenty-five hours of response time a year.
Our volunteer’s still lead normal lives, the IN-C.E.R.T. program in no way restricts a person’s normal activity. The difference with IN-C.E.R.T. it, the volunteer must take responsibility for notifying their supervisor when they are not available to respond for a certain period of time. In IN-C.E.R.T., each volunteer understands the importance of getting operational experience which is why they are encouraged to respond when called to any incident within two hundred kilometers of where they live.
