The Valley Shore Emergency Management Association in conjunction with the Old Lyme Ambulance Association is sponsoring a Community Emergency Response Team CERT program for local residents of Lyme and Old Lyme.
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may affect 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.
All classes will be held at the Cross Lane Fire Station in Old Lyme
