Gerrish Township Teen Emergency Response Team (TERT)

The Gerrish Township Police Department in partnership with the Gerrish Township CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) is looking to start a Teen CERT or TERT (Teen Emergency Response Team) program in Gerrish Township. As a senior project, Roscommon High School Senior Hailey Eanes is also partnering with the Gerrish Township Police Department and CERT by recruiting Juniors and Seniors in an effort to establish a sustainable Teen CERT program. It takes 20 hours to complete the Teen CERT training and the skills learned will last an entire lifetime. During this training, Teen Cert members will:

Extinguish small fires
Conduct light search and rescue
Assist those who are injured
Set up medical treatment areas
Assist emergency responders
Identify and anticipate hazards
Reduce fire hazards in the home and workplace
Help reduce survivor stress

Through Teen CERT you can serve your community and help take care of your school and home. If you are interested in becoming a Teen CERT member, please contact:
