Bridgewater Community Emergency Response Team Now!
The Bridgewater Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is recruiting community based volunteers who can serve during local or regional emergencies and/or assist with public health needs during the year.

Volunteers will be required to attend a series of training classes covering topics such as first aid and disaster preparedness. These classes will take place once a week for a period of 8 weeks. Completion of all 8 classes is required to be certified as a Bridgewater Community Response Team member.
