Training
Many different agencies provide Emergency Preparedness training to interested individuals. The cost is usually minimal, in some case the training is provided free of charge. Regularly informing parents and staff of training opportunities can be done through the PTA / School newsletters. Although the training of school district personnel is the responsibility of NSD, the PTA can play a role in increasing the level of awareness among parents, students and staff by arranging to have an instructor speak at PTA meetings or other functions.
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
CERT training is available through local fire districts (below) as well as local and regional chapters of Citizen Corps. CERT is a comprehensive emergency preparedness program consisting of 8 – 3 hour classes which include training in:
Disaster Preparedness
Fire Suppression
Disaster Medical
Search and Rescue
Disaster Psychology
Disaster simulation
Local Fire Districts offer additional training and have Public Educators who are more than willing to speak at PTA meetings, etc.
