Emergency shelters helps communities provide a safe and secure place for individuals and families to stay before, during and/or after a disaster. CERT volunteers may be tasked with operating a shelter during an evacuation in Clark County, especially during wildfire season.
The Red Cross will always be CRESA's first call for sheltering; however, the need for their services is increasing across the country, and they may not be available. CERT volunteers will then be asked to fill this need. This training is being taught to Red Cross standards and in alignment with Red Cross practices as they meet the needs of our community. The forms used for documentation are from the Red Cross.
