OUR MISSION
The Goffstown Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) promotes partnering between emergency management and response agencies and the people of the community. We train members of neighborhoods and workplaces in basic response skills and then form them into CERT teams as part of the emergency response capability for the community. If there is a natural or man-made event that overwhelms or delays the community's professional responders, Goffstown CERT members can assist others by applying the basic response and organizational skills learned during the CERT training. These skills can help save and sustain lives until professional help arrives. Goffstown CERT members also volunteer for special projects that improve our community's preparedness.
The Goffstown CERT organization is under the town's Emergency Management structure headed by the Goffstown Chief of Police
