Volunteer for the Village CERT Team
The Village of Wauconda's Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program was established in 2004 and has been administered by the Wauconda Fire District since its inception. The program, using the model created by the Los Angeles City Fire Department, educates residents about disaster preparedness and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.
Wauconda's CERT team is one of the most active and best trained in the area. The program has approximately 45 current members that have each received classroom and practical training that will allow them to assist other residents following a large scale event when professional responders are not immediately available. Also, in 2011, nine members of the Village's CERT Team received he President's Volunteer Service Award.
The President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation (the Council) was established in 2003 to recognize the valuable contributions volunteers are making in our communities and encourage more people to serve. The Council created the President’s Volunteer Service Award program as a way to thank and honor Americans who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service.
The next series of CERT Team training classes begin January 19th, 2012. Everyone is welcome.
If you are interested in joining the team, or would like more information about the program, please call 847-416-7504 or visit http://waucondaema.org.
