CERT Neighborhood Disaster Response Full-Functional Exercise hosted in Leimert Park
3999 Edgehill Dr, Los Angeles, 90008
The 6th Annual Second Saturday of September (SSOS) Grayburn CERT Neighborhood Disaster Response Full-Functional Exercise tests our volunteer community responders’ abilities to form teams following an earthquake and assess the severity of incidents they encounter, report, triage, and stabilize the incidents to buy time for professional first responders or more advanced volunteer Incident Response Teams to arrive.
Over the last year, we have held several single-skill focused drills across the City of Los Angeles that are based off the same standardized drill templates and step-by-step guides so that you can focus on that one skill so you can have a lot of practice and can get it right.
Full-Functional Exercises such as this one put together all the skills taught in previous trainings and drills such Staging Area Operations, sending out Damage Assessment Teams, radioing Incident reports back to Staging, and deploying Incident Response Teams to bring Incidents to conclusion and transport survivors to a Medical Treatment Area where they can be re-assessed and stabilized while determining priority for transport to definitive care so you get to experience the complete response from Start to Finish.RSVP
This templated format is an example of how CERT can efficiently and effectively deploy in their own Neighborhoods following a disaster.
