One of the local causes KCLB is involved with is Emergency Preparedness. There are four different levels of involvement. Well one of the levels is to be CERT certified. What is CERT you may ask? It is Community Emergency Response Team. The Long Beach Fire Department trains regular citizens how to react in the case of an emergency. We are trained to help and not become part of the problem during a disaster. So some of the KCLB staff decided to take the class together. We are learning how to organize ourselves into different roles, disaster psychology, fire suppression, search and rescue, triage, and more. But the greatest thing about CERT is the fashionable gear you receive when you graduate the program. Wouldn't you feel safe when you see a whole crowd of people wearing these?Thursday, February 28, 2008
Susana to the rescue!
