Basic Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training

*This is a three day event. Participants must attend all three sessions to graduate. Please see course agenda for dates and times below*

Any adult in good health and with a sense of community can become a part of CERT. If you become a CERT member, you will learn about important life-safety support techniques. You will, however, not be expected to place yourself in dangerous situations, either in the training or when a disaster strikes.

Before, during, and after disasters, CERT volunteer teams perform basic response activities, including checking in on neighbors, distributing information to the public, supporting emergency operations centers, and helping to manage traffic and crowds. The Norwalk CERT programs trains and organizes volunteers to assist their families, neighbors, co-workers, and other community members.
