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.

Disasters don't wait for convenient times. When severe storms, floods, motor vehicle accidents, or other emergencies strike, professional first responders can be stretched thin — roads blocked, communication systems interrupted, power lost, 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.
Wilton CERT also assists with the planning of safety for everyday municipal events such as parades, street festivals and public celebrations like the 4th of July. The safety of these events would stretch our municipal first responders, so Wilton CERT is there to fill these roles. Through our extensive training program we strive to be the best all volunteer 2nd responders in the state, serving our local municipality and surrounding communities through mutual aid agreements.
