CERT
Members are community citizens, like you who receive training in basic
response skills. In the event of a disaster CERT members can assist others by
applying the basic response and organizational skills that they learned
during training. CERT also applies to household and daily emergencies. Prior
training is not necessary to become a CERT TEAM member. During
the 20 hour course CERT members learn: · To
work as a team to apply basic fire suppression strategies, resources and
safety measures to extinguish a burning liquid. · Apply
techniques for opening airways, controlling bleeding, and treating for shock. · Perform
head-to-toe assessments · Select
and set up a treatment area. · Identify
planning and size-up requirements for potential search and rescue situations. · Use
safe techniques for debris removal and victim extrication. And much more! There are currently no trainings scheduled.
However, we are planning to hold additional trainings after the 1st of the
year. If you are interested to sign up for a training or would like further
information please call Eilene Brannon or Rachel Doherty at 402-376-2420. Currently, there are members in Springview,
Sparks, Wood Lake, Valentine, Crookston, Kilgore, Nenzel, and Cody. Sparks
has a mini team that trains together. |
