Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Sarawak is the sub-group of the State Crisis Management Committee comprises representatives from the government, the local leaders and the local people. The group is to promote active participation of the government in the thematic/sector group in meetings and coordinations.

The State Security And Enforcement Unit is tasked to coordinate this program with the collaboration of the relevant agencies.

CERT is not replacing the role of professional government agencies but made up of a group of the community volunteers who are able to act as first respondent during disaster. CERT prepares the community to face any emergency situation and at the same time promote volunteerism spirit. Every CERT member is taught to help themselves, their families and neighbours. In this way, the community will be more prepared during emergency.
