The CERT concept was developed and implemented by the Los Angeles City Fire Department in 1985. The Whittier Narrows earthquake underscored the area-wide threat of a major disaster in California. Further, it confirmed the need for training civilians to meet their immediate needs.
Since 1993 when this training was made available nationally by FEMA, communities in 28 states and Puerto Rico have conducted CERT training. FEMA supports CERT by conducting or sponsoring Train-the-Trainer and Program Manager courses for members of the fire, medical and emergency management community.

A Volunteer Reception Center (VRC) is an operation in which spontaneous, unaffiliated disaster volunteers are registered and referred to local agencies to assist with relief efforts.
At the VRC, volunteers will:
1. Complete a
registration form and sign a general release of
liability statement.
2. Accept a referral to an organization needing their
services.
(Referral includes a description of their duties and complete
address and contact information
for the agency to which they have been referred.)
3. Receive a form of identification approved by local
officials.
4. Participate in a safety briefing.
5. Agree in writing to follow all safety instructions
and directions from supervisors at their work sites.
