If an emergency is declared under Title 28, CERT volunteers who are not state employees, may be deemed to be state employees for the purposes of immunity from liability for conduct reasonably taken while engaged in training or civil preparedness duties, except for willful misconduct. CGS 28-6(b), 28-13(a); 12 Conn. Ops. 893 (8/28/06).
