This article covered the CERT training that took place at Union High School in Nevada. CERT stands for Community Emergency Response Team. This program is in place to help train community members to take action when an emergency strikes. They are able to administer based first aid, perform search and rescue duties, and put out small fires. This 20 hour course is offered for students interested in law enforcement. The main point of the article is that it is good to have trained CERT people because then in case of an emergency there is a larger number of people that can help out.
I do agree with the point made in the article. I really do think that Espedal had it right when he said “The more people trained, the greater the response,” and that can have a major affect on the overall outcome of an emergency situation.
