Challenges EMA & CERT Teams Face 

Emergency Management Agencies and Community Emergency Response Teams work in unpredictable, high-pressure environments. Scenes shift quickly. Roads close without warning. Crowds gather around hazards. Many teams still rely on cones, tape, or homemade barriers that fail to stay upright, lack visibility, or look unprofessional. EMA and CERT responders need reliable tools that help control space, protect the public, and support fast, organized action.
