Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

Citizen Support Team (CST)

In 2005, Fort Bend County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and a group of dedicated volunteers formed the Citizens Support Team. The purpose and mission of the Support Team is to aid and support the OEM and the Emergency Operations Center in the mission of preparing for, responding to, recovering from, or mitigating the effects of natural and technological disasters.

Emergency Management Radio Operators Group (EMROG)

Highly trained and qualified volunteers will be invited to serve as exercise support to OEM and will aid in various capacities.

Fort Bend County Office of Emergency Management is always looking for volunteers to serve the community. We have many opportunities to engage and train volunteers in multiple capacities from Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) to Emergency Operations Center (EOC) support. We also provide community educational presentations by request.
