Welcome to the Madison County CERT Association Home Page!
The Madison County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Association provides an interface between the teams trained and operating within Madison County, Alabama, and the Huntsville/Madison County Emergency Management Agency (EMA), the CERT sponsoring organization.
The Madison County CERT Association is an officially IRS designated Non-Profit organization!! This means any donation you make is Tax Deductible. Please click on the "Donate to CERT" menu link on the left for more information.
We are currently actively trying to raise funds to purchase a new Fire Pan to support CERT training. Click here for a WORD writeup on that effort.
Upcoming Events/Activities
CERT Booth - We will have our CERT Booth at various public events. Members, to volunteer to help in the booth see the contact information in the Member's area.
Shopping - If you plan on doing any shopping at Kroger you can specify the Madison County CERT Association as your preferred Charity. It doesn't cost anymore for your groceries but we do get a small donation from each purchase you make. Ask at your Kroger store how to select the MCCA as your chairitable cause.
Videos - There are several videos out on YouTube that provide a lot more information on CERT, CERT Training, and CERT in Action. Click here

Next Meeting
Our next meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, March 14th. However, the National Weather Service scheduled their Madison County Storm Spotter class for that same evening at 6:00 PM at the JayCee's Building in John Hunt Park (the old airport) so we decided to cancel our March Meeting.
Therefore, our next regularly scheduled MCCA meeting will be Tuesday, May 9th. MCCA members will receive email notification as to where the meeting will be held. Check the Members area Home Page for more information.
Next Class
We just completed CERT Class 73 this week and now have 11 new members of the MCCA with 5 more needing either 1 or 2 makeup classes before they're "official". CERT Class 74 will be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, April 4th through April 27th. That class is already full so we may end up with another class in around June. Members will be needed to act as Victims for their last session on April 27th, if you'd like to volunteer, send an email to president@madisoncountycert.org.
If you are interested in becoming CERT trained, send your name, email, phone, and address to classes@madisoncountycert.org and we will add you to the Wait List and let you know more information about the next available class.
If you are new to the area and are CERT trained, you are welcome to join us. Please download a Registration/Liability Release form here, fill it out, and send it (along with a copy of your Graduation certificate) to the address on the form.
