Support CERT!

We need Your Help!

Morrisville CERT, is in the process of becoming a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization and is part of a nationally recognized organization.  The establishment of a local CERT group is important for the well being of our community. Morrisville CERT is new and we are finding that training and equipping CERT volunteers is quite expensive. We are looking for sponsors who can donate materials and/or money to this very worthwhile effort.

It is necessary to have continued funding for this valued organization to be able to meet the community’s needs in the event of an emergency. In practical terms this means investing in the training of more teams and ensuring they have the supplies needed to carry out their duties.

We encourage everyone who has ever given a thought to how we would cope as a community in the event of an emergency, (Remember Hurricane Fran or some of our ice storms?) to consider taking positive action by making a donation to our own Morrisville CERT.

What do we need?

We are looking for both private and corporate sponsors to help in sponsoring our training, equipment costs, and planned community outreach programs. Besides the expense of training and equipping our volunteers, CERT would like to provide additional training courses such as “Emergency Preparedness” and “CPR and First Aid”. In addition, we would like to make handouts such as Community Emergency Preparedness and Response Guides available to the public. We need your help to continue these activities!

Also, we need donations of the following to supply the teams, such as:

• First Aid Kits
• Latex-free EMS Gloves
• Tarps (8′ x 8′)
• Mylar Reflective Blankets (Space blankets)
• Gauze 4″x4″’s
• Medical Tape
• Heavy Work Gloves
• Flares
• Light Sticks
• Ponchos
• Triage Tape
• EMT Scissors
• Utility Knives
• Water Purification Tablets
• Filter Masks
• Duct Tape
• Boundary Tape
• Triangle Bandages
• Flashlights (Maglite or equivalent; 3 or 4 D-Cell)
• Paper for printing passouts, training manuals, etc.

We can use any supplies you may have or cash if you choose.   If you are interested in helping to sponsor Morrisville CERT, please contact us at donate@certmorrisville.org and we will get back to you very quickly.
