On Wednesday, June 11, Mayor Bloomberg recognized NYC CERT members from across the five boroughs at Gracie Mansion. CERT members, instructors and special guests enjoyed a night of good food, and music, and congratulations. Mayor Bloomberg even hosted a short NYC CERT quiz game for lucky volunteers.

During the last five years the program has grown to include over 60 teams and 1,000 trained members.
