CERT Command gives field teams and county EOC a shared operating picture during disaster response activations — without radios, paper forms, or guesswork.
Request a Pilot for Your TeamCERT Command replaces paper ICS-214 forms and radio-only comms with a live iOS app for volunteers and a web dashboard for team leaders and county coordinators.
Every checked-in volunteer appears on a real-time map. Team leaders see the full field picture instantly — no radio check-ins needed.
Volunteers submit structured incident reports (tree down, flooding, medical need, etc.) from the field. High-severity reports auto-escalate to County EOC.
Team leaders create and assign tasks from the dashboard. Volunteers see their assignments on the Tasks tab, update status, and add field notes.
Volunteers set their own status: Available, Assigned, Unavailable, Injured, or Needs Help. Leaders see the full team status at a glance.
Organize volunteers into color-coded sub-teams. Assign tasks to entire sub-teams. Members see their team assignment on the status screen.
A separate County dashboard aggregates all team summaries. County can broadcast alerts to all teams simultaneously and receive escalated reports.
No app store accounts for team leaders, no central server subscription. Each team runs their own isolated instance.
A lightweight server runs on any VPS or local machine. Takes under 5 minutes to deploy with Docker.
CERT Command is a free iOS app. Volunteers enter the team server address and PIN — no account creation required.
Each volunteer checks in with their name, role, and available equipment. They appear on the dashboard map immediately.
Leaders assign tasks, track locations, receive field reports, and manage sub-teams — all from a browser on any device.
Whether you're a small neighborhood team or a county program managing multiple teams, CERT Command scales to fit.
A simple iOS app to check in, update your status, submit field reports, and view assigned tasks. No training required — designed to work under stress.
A full web dashboard to see your entire team on a live map, assign tasks, manage sub-teams, and receive ICS-compliant field reports in real time.
A county-level dashboard that aggregates all team summaries, receives escalated high-priority reports, and broadcasts alerts to every active team simultaneously.
We're looking to expand pilots to CERT programs and county emergency management offices across the United States. Setup is free and takes less than an hour.
Any active CERT program can request a hosted instance for their next training exercise or activation. We'll help you get set up at no cost.
County emergency management offices can deploy the full multi-team + EOC dashboard to coordinate all CERT teams in their jurisdiction from a single screen.
The server is self-hostable. If your county has IT resources, you can run it entirely on your own infrastructure with full control over your data.
