About

Souhegan Community Response Team (CERT)

We are a group of citizens – your neighbors and co-workers – who are trained to respond 24 hours a day if any of our towns need help. Police and Fire Departments can call us up for scene traffic control, search and rescue, mass casualty incidents or any other emergency where additional personnel are needed.

We also teach emergency preparedness, build disaster resilience and prepare our communities for catastrophic disasters.

Communities We Serve:

Amherst, NH
Mont Vernon, NH
