Call-Out Team Registration

Register online for the Call-Out Team!

  There is one Call-Out Team for the City. This gives everyone equal opportunity to respond.

CERT members will not self-dispatch to any incident. Only the CERT Call-Out Teams that are requested by the LAFD may respond.

LAFD ALERT Messages (email, Twitter, radio etc.) are not official instructions or authorization to take action.

Call-Out Team members will receive notice of the call-out from the automated call-out system.

  1. sign up online on this page.
