ANALYSIS
The Fontainebleau Hilton Resort has generously agreed to donate $500 toward the City's
Community Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T.) Program. The Fontainebleau Hilton Resort and
the Muss family are long time residents of the City of Miami Beach and found this program to be
noteworthy and of great value to Miami Beach residential community. The City of Miami Beach has
become a part of a national network of C.E,R.T. communities and has developed a program that is
designed to help neighborhoods prepare for and respond to catastrophic disasters such as
hurricanes, tornadoes, and other major emergencies,
C.E.R.T. training is designed to help citizens prepare to help themselves, their families, and their
neighbors in the event of a catastrophic event. CERT trained individuals will be able to help save
lives and property until emergency services personnel arrive. The program trains volunteers in light
Search and Rescue, Triage, Emergency Medical Procedures, Small Fire Suppression, and Damage
Assessment.
Created by the City of Los Angeles' Fire Department in 1985, the C.E.R.T. concept was so
beneficial to the community that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has made
the program available nationally, Miami-Dade County's Office of Emergency Management (OEM)
has adapted the program to suit the particular needs of South Florida. The $500 donation from the
Fontainebleau Hilton Resort will be used to fund supplies such as gloves, reflective vests and first
aid kits for the volunteerC.E.R.T. teams. Neighborhood Services has organized its CERT Program
to be a part of the larger County-wide C.E.R.T. while still being a stand-alone program based locally.
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt this resolution
accepting the kind and generous donation 01$500 from the Fontainebleau Hilton Resort for the City's
c.E.R.~gram.
