The Danbury Department of Health and Human Services, together with the Office of Emergency Management, will be holding CERT training sessions for those interested in becoming a part of Danbury’s Community Emergency Response Team.  The CERT program is a nationally supported, locally implemented initiative that teaches people how to better prepare themselves for hazards that may affect their communities. The basic disaster response skills include team organization, disaster medical operations, disaster psychology, fire safety, and light search and rescue.  The certification program consists of 20 hours of training, and will be conducted over a span of 5 sessions, being held on September 12th, 14th, 19th, and 21st from 7pm to 10om at Danbury City Hall, and September 17th from 8am to 4pm at Danbury Fire School. Participants must be over 18 years of age and attend all five sessions in order to receive certification.
