Public Health Preparedness Training

We offer three ways for Windsor and South Windsor residents to receive Public Health Preparedness training.  They are (1) classroom training, (2) satellite broadcasts and (3) online training.  In this and future newsletters we will be alerting you to upcoming training opportunities.  The training opportunities will be organized by category: Classroom Training, Satellite Broadcast and Online Training. Please take advantage of as many training opportunities as you can fit into your schedule.  Remember, the more training you receive the better prepared you are to help your family and your community respond to public health emergencies.

On-line Training

TRAINConnecticut is an online training resource for public health volunteers and professionals. As part of our contract with the State, MDA #31 is required to have all its public health emergency response volunteers register on this website. Doing so allows us to maintain training records centrally. If you have not already registered, please visit http://ct.train.org today.  Step-by-step instructions are available. If you don’t have computer access at home, feel free to ask your local librarian for assistance:

è    Leeann Costello at the Windsor Public Library, 323 Broad St, Windsor

è    Gaye Rizzo at the Wilson Branch Library, 365 Windsor Ave., Windsor

è    Mary Etter at the South Windsor Public Library, 1550 Sullivan Ave., South Windsor.
