2024 CERT Community Emergency Response Team Training Registration

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOR SPRING 2024 CERT TRAINING!

CERT is a program that educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that might impact their area and trains citizens on basic disaster response skills. When a disaster such as a major hurricane strikes, emergency responders are generally focused on the most critical emergencies. Therefore, it’s important for residents to have the ability to help themselves, their families and community around them leading up to and following a disaster. Fortunately, these skills can be easily learned. Through classroom and hands-on instruction participants in the CERT training will learn about disaster preparedness and basic response related to fire safety, disaster medical operations and light search and rescue. This ten-week course will also cover disaster psychology, terrorism and the mission of the CERT organization. The course will culminate in a CERT drill, putting what participants have learned into practice.

Classes will be held every Wednesday evening starting on March 06, 2024 from 7:00 PM until 9:00 PM and will continue for ten consecutive weeks, in the East Hartford Fire Department’s Training Room. Enrolled students will receive equipment and the opportunity to apply to join East Hartford CERT upon course completion.
