Join the Emergency Response Team at the Norwalk Health Department

The Norwalk Health Department needs adults who live or work in the Norwalk and New Canaan areas for key positions on its Emergency Response Team (ERT). This team of volunteers—which includes people with both medical and non-medical backgrounds—donates their time and expertise to prepare for and respond to emergencies and to promote healthy living year-round.

The goal of the ERT is to extend the resources of the professional Health Department staff. ERT volunteers work with public health officials to spread preparedness messages within the community and assist with other public health programs and events. The Health Department provides training and insurance, while volunteers provide their time and skills.

This latest cohort of volunteers will join a dedicated and diverse group of people who’ve already been trained and serve on the ERT.

Sign up now. Group interviews for this cohort will be held on February 27 at 7 pm or March 8 at 4 pm. Training starts March 13. Advanced registration is required.
