The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness. The training curriculum includes disaster preparedness, fire suppression, medical operations (first aid triage), light search and rescue, understanding the signs and symptoms of disaster psychology, and team organization.
Local volunteers could take CERT's Firefighter Rehab Training Course to support LMRFD firefighters by providing support services.
The four-hour Firefighting Rehab module trains CERT members to safely set up and perform the non-medical functions of firefighter rehabilitation. CERT members will learn: 1) the definition of and need for firefighter rehab; 2) the physiological threats to firefighters; 3) an overview of what happens at the scene of a fire; and, 4) how CERT members set up and what they do in the rehab area.
In rural areas like Dolan Springs and Meadview Community Emergency Response Teams can be trained in Animal Response, Traffic and Crowd Management, Flood Response, or Communications.
The one requirement for a CERT team is the support of the local fire district or other agency.
