CERT stands for Community Emergency Response Team, which is a program that trains volunteers in basic disaster response skills to assist their communities during emergencies.
Ham radio operators are really useful to CERT and at least in the community I joined with my local city they really recommend to get into ham radio, so from my perspective of what I’ve learned locally is they go hand in hand.
I know this server rules say communities should be amateur radio related and I think it goes pretty well together, but would also like general CERT discussion for example what people keep in their CERT backpack and what events they have participated in etc beyond just the radio aspect of it. I feel the CERT community would fit nicely on lemmy.radio
