CERT Training Underway
The Community Emergency Response Team’s (CERT) March meeting topic was “Communicating in an Emergency.” It covered using a cell phone to set up emergency contacts and communication plans; two-way radios and how to use them in an emergency; and emergency solar-powered radios and how to purchase them. Also covered were recommendations for “OK” and “Help” signs that people could put in windows to aid emergency responders in assessing the situation after a disaster.
CERT’s next monthly meeting will be held on Friday, April 28, in Clubhouse 3, Room 9, at 10 a.m. The discussion topic will be “Teambuilding: Understanding Personality Types in a Disaster.” Everyone is welcome.
These CERT graduates completed a five-week course in disaster preparedness training (photo above). Residents attended the monthly CERT meeting on March 24 (below).
