Avon Offering Course On Community Emergency Preparations

Press release from the Town of Avon:

AVON, CT — If you ever wanted to serve your community and prepare for something you hope is never needed, then taking the town's Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) course should be in the cards.

Town officials announced the course's availability this week and urged those interested to sign up to obtain more information.

Being a CERT member means you're trained to work with state and local emergency officials in the event of a disaster (either man-made or natural) and aid your neighborhood.

Training sessions, which total 20 hours in all, will take place over four different sessions throughout March and April 1 at the Avon Fire Department's Co. 1 firehouse, 25 Darling Drive, Avon.

Below is information on how to apply and what the course entails:
