The Community 2015 Masterplan
The Community 2015 Masterplan was launched by Deputy Chairman, Minister Lim Boon Heng, and Dr Vivian Balakrishnan at the Grassroots Seminar 2010 on 21 November 2010.
The Masterplan distils the key ideas and concepts behind our approaches and strategies towards addressing key challenges, and bringing our community closer to the Vision for the Community - that of a Great Home and a Caring Community.
It sets out the strategies to widen outreach and deepen resident engagement so as to build social capital.

Community Emergency Response Team
What is CERT?
CERT stands for Community Emergency Response Team. CERT is an organised group of volunteers equipped with special training to respond to an emergency and assist the community in the recovery process. The main role of the CERT is to strengthen the emergency response capabilities of the local community.
First formed in 2004 at the Residents' Committee and Neighbourhood Committee zonal level to support the EPG and CDEC, CERT members are made up of grassroots leaders and residents who are staying in the vicinity. Being closer to the ground, they can respond to an emergency before the arrival of the emergency authorities. CERT members assist in rendering basic first aid, evacuation and crowd control before and after the emergency authorities arrive.
What is your role as a CERT member?
