The City of Manchester's Community Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T.) is looking for volunteers. Participants are Manchester residents and/or employees of a Manchester based business or school who complete a 20 hour basic C.E.R.T. training course instructed by our local police officers and fire fighters.
