The City of Miramar announced that $5,000 in funding has been received from Volunteer Florida for its Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) and Citizen Corps programs.
CERT and Citizen Corps are training programs that prepare Floridians to help their families and neighbors in the event of a disaster in their community. Volunteer Florida administers funding for these programs in partnership with the Florida Division of Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Miramar Fire-Rescue Chief Robert Palmer stated, “The volunteers in our community reinforce the work of emergency management officials and play a key role in taking action when disaster strikes. We are pleased to report that many of our residents have become trained through the CERT and Citizen Corps programs as a result of this funding.”
