DuPage County CERT

8/3/22

Today, our guest speaker was Marty Keller, Director of DuPage CERT

CERT = Community Emergency Response Team.

CERT serves to prepare the residents of our community to be ready to help themselves, their families and local first responders in case of a disaster. Milton Township commenced its CERT training in 2004. Milton Township has trained and equipped over 1,200 citizen volunteers, and partners with fellow DuPage County Townships, cities, park districts and the College of DuPage Homeland Security Institute. CERT training is offered free of charge to residents of Milton Township and

DuPage partner Townships and consists of a 21 hour, 7 week course of classroom and hands-on training. Graduates are provided with a valuable pack of disaster equipment which is theirs to keep so long as they volunteer to avail themselves to CERT when called upon.
