About CERT Kits

CERT Kits provide essential emergency equipment and supplies to support Community Emergency Response Team members as they assist during disasters and local emergencies. Designed to align with the needs of trained volunteers, these kits help members provide immediate support to first responders, assist victims, and safely organize response efforts within their communities. Thoughtfully assembled for reliability and ease of use, CERT Kits include the tools needed to perform key response tasks and promote coordinated action during critical situations. Durable, organized, and ready to deploy, they help communities strengthen preparedness and respond more effectively when emergencies occur.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about CERT kits, from recommended training and FEMA-standard equipment to who can use the gear when it matters — because community preparedness starts with the right tools and the knowledge to use them.

Do I need to complete CERT training before buying a kit?

No. Anyone can buy a CERT kit, but CERT training is strongly recommended before deploying as a responder. FEMA-sponsored CERT courses are offered through local emergency management agencies.

What skills should I have before using the tools in a CERT kit?

CERT training (about 20 hours) covers fire safety, basic medical ops, light search and rescue, disaster psychology, and team organization. Without training, limit your use to self and family support; do not attempt structural entry or casualty extraction.

Are there different CERT kits for different types of disasters?

CERT kits are designed to address the most common needs across disaster types — including earthquakes, floods, fires, and severe storms. Core tools like first aid supplies, search and rescue equipment, and safety gear apply broadly regardless of the disaster.

Does this kit include everything FEMA recommends for CERT members?

Yes. Our Premium CERT kit matches the FEMA-recommended CERT equipment list: hard hat, goggles, N95 mask, vest, gloves, flashlight, whistle, duct tape, crescent wrench, pry bar, hammer, and a basic first aid kit.

How much does CERT training cost in my area?

Free in most localities. FEMA sponsors local CERT programs through county emergency management or fire departments. Check citizencorps.gov or your county's website to find nearby training.

Can family members use CERT gear even if they're not trained?

Yes for basic family use (flashlight, dust mask, gloves, whistle). Tools intended for structural entry (pry bar, hammer) should not be used by untrained responders. Keep a separate family kit and reserve the CERT kit for trained responders.

What is on the standard CERT equipment list?

FEMA's standard CERT equipment list: hard hat (green), goggles, N95 mask, work gloves, ANSI safety vest, flashlight with extra batteries, whistle, duct tape, 12-inch crescent wrench, pry bar, hammer, trauma shears, and a basic first aid kit.
