This system supports management efforts for mission control, resource deployment, scheduling and tracking for all local CERT organizations. This will be the primary system used for announcing and scheduling events, volunteer call out, and tracking volunteer hours and resources. All CERT personnel should have an account on this system and should be reasonably familiar with it. As a result of implementing this new capability, the calendar on this site has been removed.
