Email Communications

News from the Cy-Fair CERT PIO:

CERT members who have changed their email address or have stopped receiving emails from Cy-Fair CERT (CFC) and wish to again receive email announcements from CFC should send an email to the CFC Public Information Officer (PIO) with the following information:

First and Last Name

Corrected or updated email address

copy of your CERT Certificate (this is to ensure that you have graduated from a CERT training class – requests submitted without a copy of the CERT Certificate will have the email address added to the ‘Friends of CFC’ distribution list)

CFC or other CERT training alumnus who are or were registered with Harris County Citizens Corp (HCCC), and are unable to log your volunteer hours into the HCCC Activities Journal (due to a changed email address or other log-in problem) should submit a summary of the problem to Julie Oates, (Julie.Oates@oem.hctx.net) and Lionel Bryant (Lionel.Bryant@oem.hctx.net). Julie and Lionel will try to assist in solving your log-in problems.

Rapid Response Team (RRT) Activation

As of May 10, 2016, Cy-Fair CERT’s Rapid Response Team (RRT) has been officially activated.  The RRT is a response team with specialized training available to meet the needs and requests by the community and agency outreach.  We have been using this response team for several months to respond to heavy rains and flooding in our area and working with the Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department, the Red Cross and the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.  We have 18 people that already meet the additional training requirements for the RRT and expect to continue to grow and expand to meet more of the needs of our community.  This team has long been a goal of Cy-Fair CERT’s so that we can use not only our CERT training, but our additional skills and knowledge, in a meaningful and useful way.

Congratulations to all of our RRT!  Your hard work is much appreciated!  If you would like more information about Cy-Fair CERT’s RRT, please contact us at socialmedia@cyfaircert.org.
