March 2023.  NEMCo’s first ‘post COVID’ CERT course. The speed at which this class filled up is a testament to the desire of our community to get informed and involved. The class provides the base knowledge needed for community emergency response; covering the areas of fire safety, basic first aid, disaster medical operations, light search and rescue, and much more. Lessons are presented in an easy to understand, step-by-step process, with a follow up hands-on training building on these lessons over the following weekend. After this 24-hour course, participants are invited to join their local CERT and continue to further this skill set. 

Anyone interested in volunteering or attending any further trainings or exercises, please remember to keep an eye on our Home page.

April 29, 2023:  5th Saturday Communications Drill

On Saturday, April 29th our CERT and RACES volunteers participated in a regional “5thSaturday” emergency communications drill. While the RACES group preformed radio checks and communications exercises in our Emergency Operations Centers (EOC), this drill also incorporated a CERT functional exercise. During this exercise, CERT members utilized the empty medical offices near city hall to practice searching for disaster survivors, to triage roll players with make-up simulating various fake injuries, and to carrying these survivors to a medical check point. CERT and RACES also practiced integrating tactical communications from CERT members into the EOC communications to help improve emergency operations.
