COURSE REVIEW
3
CERT Course Review Disaster Simulation
  • A Review of Key Points from the Course
  • A Final Exercise

4
Unit Objectives
  • At the conclusion of this unit, the participants
    should be able to apply the skills and knowledge
    learned in Unit 1-8 to a simulated disaster
    situation

5
Scope
  • The scope of CERT curriculum will include
  • Introduction and Unit Overview.
  • Course Review.
  • Disaster Simulation.
  • Exercise Critique and Summary

6
  • Key Points

7
Unit 1 Goals
  • Teach Basics of Disasters
  • Teach Disaster Preparedness
  • Establish teacher Student relationship
  • Establish Team Building!

8
Unit 1 Ways to reinforce Teamwork
  • Building a tower (example from Instructor guide)
  • Phone/Email chain
  • Break class into groups and have them list
    contents of what an emergency kit should contain

9
Phone/Email Chain
10
EMU Demo
  • We demonstrate something pertinent for Unit One
  • Contents of preparedness kit and raffle off!

11
Unit 1 Student Activity
  • At the Beginning of the class.
  • From a deck of playing cards pass out according
    to class size so many Hearts, Spades, Clubs,
    Diamonds
  • Instructor, ahead of time list 5 items that is a
    must for a kit.
  • Break class into groups according to cards, have
    them brainstorm and make a list of 10 additional
    items in a Preparedness Kit.
  • Give groups 10 minutes to create a list.
  • Leader of each group will report out.

12
Tools for Reinforcing Learning
  • Demonstration
  • Case Study
  • Guided Teaching
  • Group Inquiry
  • Information Search
  • Study Group
  • Jigsaw Learning
  • Learning Tournament

13
Food for Thought!
  • Additional CERT class graduates are always part
    of the overall team! No first or second teams!
  • Import disasters which are pertinent to your
    location.
  • Explain homework and prep for next class.
  • Timing break into two parts to allow for
    completion if needed.
  • Cost of Preparedness kits! Solicit local
    merchants to assist.
  • YOUR THOUGHTS!

14
Unit 2 Key Goals
  • Teach basics of
  • Fire Chemistry
  • Fire Hazards
  • Fire Safety
  • Handling Portable Fire Extinguishers
  • Fire Suppression Safety
  • Hazardous Materials
  • Building Teamwork

15
Unit 2 Ways to Reinforce Teamwork
16
Unit 3 Key Learning Points
  • CERT members ability to open airways, control
    bleeding, and treat shock is critical to saving
    lives.
  • Triage is a system for rapidly evaluating
    victims injuries and prioritizing them for
    treatment.
  • The airway and breathing rate.
  • Circulation and bleeding.
  • Mental status.

17
Unit 4 Key Learning Points
  • To safeguard public health, take measures to
    maintain proper hygiene and sanitation, and
    purify water if necessary. All public health
    measures should be planned in advance and
    practiced during exercises.
  • Disaster medical operations include four
    sub-functions
  • Triage
  • Treatment
  • Transport
  • Morgue
  • Head-to-toe assessments should be verbal and
    hands-on.
  • Treatment areas must be established as soon as
    casualties are confirmed and should be
  • In a safe area that is close to, but uphill and
    upwind, and upstream from, the hazard area.
    Accessible by transportation vehicles.

18
Unit 5 Key Learning Points
  • The objectives of search and rescue are to
  • Maintain rescuer safety at all times.
  • Rescue the greatest number of people in the
    shortest amount of time.
  • Rescue the lightly trapped victims first.
  • Rescue involves three main functions
  • Creating a safe environment
  • Triaging or stabilizing victims
  • Removing victims based on the size-up

19
Unit 6 Key Learning Points
  • CERT Organization How to organize and deploy
    volunteer resources according to CERT
    organizational principles.
  • Rescuer Safety How to protect your own safety
    and your buddys during search and rescue.
  • Documentation Strategies for documenting
    situation and resource status.
  • Team Organization A tabletop exercise will give
    you the opportunity to apply your knowledge of
    team organization.

20
Unit 7 Key Learning Points
  • Disaster Psychology The psychological impact of
    a disaster on rescuers and victims, and how to
    provide psychological first aid.
  • Caring for Yourself, Your Buddy, and Victims
    Steps one can take individually and as part of a
    CERT before, immediately following, and after a
    disaster.

21
Unit 8 Key Learning Points
  • Terrorism may be perpetrated by foreign or
    domestic individuals or groups. Terrorists
    attack to
  • Intimidate the government or the civilian
    population.
  • Further their objectives.
  • Create mass casualties.
  • Disrupt critical resources, vital services, and
    the economy.
  • Cause individual and mass panic.

22
Unit 9 Key Learning Points
  • Provide the participants with feedback on their
    performance, including
  • Overall operations.
  • Communications.
  • Safety.
  • Teamwork.
  • Ask the participants if anyone has any comments
    or questions about the exercise.
  • Stress the importance of continuing education and
    training to maintain and improve the
    participants skills and knowledge.

23
Disaster Simulation
  • The disaster simulation requires you to set up
    four stations.
  • Participants must treat the exercise as if it
    were real and train as if lives were depending on
    it.
  • The Instructor will point out that mistakes made
    during training are lessons learnedlessons that
    may someday save lives and prevent injuries.
  • At the end of the simulation, the Instructor will
    lead an interactive discussion about the lessons
    learned and the difficulties encountered during
    the exercise.

24
Station 1
  • Based on that scenario, the participants will
  • Select a CERT Leader
  • Determine the resources needed.
  • Determine the extent of damage.
  • Establish team priorities.
  • Determine the resources needed.
  • Identify potential hazards.

25
Station Two
  • The participants will be required to
  • Evaluate a fire situation.
  • Select the proper extinguisher.
  • Extinguish a fire.
  • NOTE Each participant
  • will extinguish
  • the fire.

26
Station Three
  • Participants will be required to conduct triage
    and treat victims with the medical equipment
    available.
  • Identify several types of injuries that would be
    commonly incurred as a result of the disaster
    described in the simulation.
  • Select participants as victims and have them
    apply Moulage to indicate wounds.

27
Station Four
  • CRIBBING
  • Select several assistant instructors to serve as
    victims.
  • Use pieces of wood, furniture, or other items (to
    simulate debris) to trap the victims.
  • Provide additional materials that can be used in
    a leverage and cribbing operation as well as
    blankets and other items that could be used if
    necessary to lift or otherwise move the victim
    from his or her place of entrapment.
