The following pictures are from the CERT training that was attended by
Civil Air Patrol personnel from Ohio Wing, Group-1: |

The CERT program is a two-day (20 hours) course that spends the first day in a classroom setting. Audio/Visual presentations, as well as hands-on situations is a good starter for the outdoor training that follows.
A quick side note: TRY, TRY, TRY to have already completed a "good" first aid program, and an advanced course, if possible. It will help you immeasurably during CERT classes.
We began with Team Building. The idea was to get a couple of stacks of wood pallets from one area, to another area, as quickly and efficiently as possible.
For this exercise, a cadet was chosen to lead. |

Not the most exciting task, but this DID help with team-building.
In Disaster Relief (DR), things like this may be the norm. |

You hear someone inside crying out for help.
But, do you enter?
If the structure is unsafe, then absolutely NOT. Tough situations like that are better left to those who have underwent extensive training in these type of rescue.
You should identify the building, let others know a rescue is needed, and see about helping other people in less dangerous situations.
It doesn't help anyone, when the "rescuer" becomes a "victim" themselves. Now, there are TWO people who need rescued, and perhaps medical care. |
