The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a national program that educates people about disaster preparedness for 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. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members assist first responders and can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.

Dolan Middle School is a City of Stamford Public School. It is located in southwestern Connecticut. Founded in 1948, nestled in a hard-working residential area of Stamford, Dolan has evolved over the years from a traditional junior high to its present-day school, emphasizing middle school curriculum. The model is designed to assist students to continue significant academic learning, to develop a better understanding of self, and to become more productive members of their community. During this period of rapid growth, our school seeks to broaden the interests of students and move from dealing primarily with concrete operations to levels of abstracting and hypothesizing.
