My CERT has been called out for traffic control during a controlled burn, running shelters for stranded motorists during severe weather, and a simulated exercise to search for lost children. If your FD or EMA doesn't know how to use CERT, CERT won't get used, or won't be used for things we're trained to do. Also, different CERTs have different specialties and train for different things.
