CERT

The Village of Lake Zurich Citizens Corps CERT is part of a regional team including the towns of Hawthorn Woods, Kildeer, Deer Park, Lake Zurich, and Long Grove.

CERT is a field based operational unit. The training covers personal preparedness followed by sessions on search and rescue, first aid and victim removal to name a few. This team is designed to aid emergency personnel in situations where emergency services are already stretched beyond initial capabilities.
