Our members are Lakewood Ranch residents, just like you, organized into neighborhood teams. We are your neighbors, prepared to help you when an emergency occurs in our community. We are trained to provide emergency first aid after a disaster or hurricane. And, using our three-tiered radio network, we are able to call in urgent needs for EMTs, Fire and Police, even if cell phone towers are down or overloaded.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Even with all of today’s technology, tornados and fires can show up unexpectedly, and hurricanes can take sudden turns. Take a few minutes today to check out the many resources linked here to better prepare yourself and your family should a disaster happen to you.
As a storm approaches, LWR CERT closely monitors urgent weather updates and receives important information directly from Manatee County Emergency Management. We share this information with our members as we gear up to assist our Lakewood Ranch neighbors once the storm clears. Stay tuned and stay safe with real-time updates from the National Hurricane Center’s live feed.
In addition to responding in our neighborhoods after a disaster, LWR CERT members also help the Lakewood Ranch community become more resilient by sponsoring educational events on such topics as hurricane preparation, emergency pet first aid, home safety and family security. These free sessions are held at LWR Town Hall and are open to all Lakewood Ranch residents.
