Take Training

The 20-hour Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.

CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, which allows them to focus on more complex tasks. Through CERT, the capabilities to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters is built and enhanced.

According to a recent National Academies of Science study, trauma is the leading cause of death for Americans under age 46. Life-threatening injuries require immediate action to prevent an injured person from dying. Those nearest to someone with life-threatening injuries are best positioned to provide first care.

Life-threatening emergencies can happen fast and emergency responders aren’t always nearby. You may be able to save a life by taking simple actions immediately.

You Are the Help Until Help Arrives.

This five-hour course is offered by Nashua Police Department. Attendees will learn about proven options and strategies that can be employed in an active shooter/active threat situation to increase survivability during the time that exists between when an active shooter situation starts and when the police arrive.

During the “Emergency Casualty Care” portion of the training, attendees will receive classroom and hands-on instruction in specific bleeding control techniques which have proven to be effective during active shooter/active threat situations. The topics of tourniquets, pressure bandages, chest seals and other emergency casualty care treatments will be covered.

The emergency doesn't end when you call 9-1-1. Average response times are well over 5 minutes. Learn how to save a life and the simple steps you can take to help a trauma victim.

We want everyone to learn how to Stop the Bleed but we also want to take the steps to prevent bleeding in the first place.
