Southern Marin Trains CERT Members

The Southern Marin  CERT organization held an advanced training for team members from across Marin County. 38 CERT volunteers showed up to practice their skills. Focus was on the development of a command center and on Search and Rescue, Triage, Treatment, Radio practice, and Use of the Emergency Trailer.

Maggie Lang from Mill Valley CERT brought the Boy Scouts and decorated them with realistic wounds. They played their parts well, and Southern Marin thanks them for their effort and their time.

A survey on SurveyMonkey.com found that the exercise went pretty well, and people appreciated the chance to reuse their skills. But it was clear that the ICS commanders needed additional preparation and practice in leading a large group like this one. The teams needed more exercises to keep them busy also. So much was learned and much was gained.
