About Us
The
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about
disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains
them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search
and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the
training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can
assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when
professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT
members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by
taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their
community. LEPC3 serves the towns
of Norwich, Hartford, Hartland, Andover, Baltimore, Cavendish, Chester,
Ludlow,
Reading, Springfield, Weathersfield, West Windsor and Windsor
