The Wilton Community Emergency Response Team trains and equips citizens to protect themselves, their families, and their neighbors when disaster strikes and first responders can't get there fast enough.
In a major disaster, first responders may not be able to meet the full demand for services. Wilton CERT bridges that gap — trained neighbors helping neighbors.
FEMA-backed training covering first aid, fire safety, search and rescue, and disaster response for Wilton residents.
Supporting Wilton community events with trained volunteers ensuring safety at public gatherings and town functions.

Disasters don't wait for convenient times. When earthquakes, severe storms, or other emergencies strike, professional first responders can be stretched thin — roads blocked, communication lines down, 911 overwhelmed.
That's where Wilton CERT steps in. Our trained volunteers fill the gap, providing immediate assistance until professional help arrives. Because neighbors helping neighbors saves lives.
