Affiliated Programs

The RCCC sponsors programs that closely align with our mission.  

Community Emergency Response Team

After a disaster, residents may need to be self-sufficient for up to 72 hours without additional resources.  Neighborhood-based CERT teams provide the training and equipment to help you bridge that gap.
