(Marion, IA) -- Marion City Council agreed with Fire Chief Tom Fagan last night that Marion needs a Community Emergency Response Team.
The CERT team will start with 15 community volunteers trained to provide disaster response and rescue during events like the derecho, or active shooter situations.
Chief Fagan hopes to have the team up and running by late summer.
