CERT Disaster Response
Within these topics there is a fair amount of first aid, stop the bleed, comms, and a final exam which consists of using the CERT Deployment Trailer as an EOC to conduct search and rescue, cribbing to save a patient, light first aid and utilities management.? I've done it twice and taught it twice and will tell you I learn something new each time.? If you are at all remotely interested in learning more about these topics and becoming better prepared to serve your family and community (officially or unofficially), I invite you to come out and join us for a great weekend of learning.
