Nevada Union High School students participated in the CERT program, the Community Emergency Response Team. The CERT program is a 20-hour all risk training program teaching students on how to prepare for and respond to emergencies. This program was created to help sustain victims until first responders arrive on scene. At this high school, students volunteer to participate in this program. This program provides information ranging from basic first aid to putting out small fires. The main point of this article is to inform readers how easily accessible it is to provide the necessary education to youth on how to react in emergency scenes. The result of this program will increase the chances of a victim surviving and decrease death from a result of the amount of time the first responders take to arrive on scene. This program is informative while at the same time fun and relatively easy to accomplish. These teens are volunteering their time to learn about how they should respond in emergency scenarios, which will save lives. The CERT program is not only very informative but also financially reasonable. Nevada Union Highs School didn't pay a cent for this program, because all of the material is supplied by the County Department of Public Health. I agree with this article. This program will save lives in the future, while at the same time informing and getting youth involved. The CERT program is efficient, educational, fun and free! I would participate in the CERT program because I would receive the necessary information on how to react efficiently in an emergency situation. I would add to this article statistics informing how positive this program is, including the increase percentage of life saved on scene. I would also add the first responder's views of this program, and how it helps them out with their job.
