Having accurate and up to date information and intelligence is critical to staying safe and being an empowered CERT citizen responder. When we don't know what's going on, it becomes very difficult to keep our families and communities safe!

We created this page to help our Zone 2 CERT members and the general public stay abreast of what's going on in our region, state, country, and world right now. We've arranged the content on this page from top to bottom starting with the most local (North & Central Dallas) to the most general (the world).

If there are any urgent disaster instructions for our members and the public in Zone 2, those will be at the top of the page, in red, under the URGENT DISASTER INSTRUCTIONS section.

Do you have information or intelligence to share with Zone 2? Contact us: Zone2@DallasCERT.org
