Tip of the Week: Haiti CERT Response

In this episode, host Jamie Davis, the Podmedic brings Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) educator, Steve Lichtenberg from Montgomery County, Maryland on the show to talk about his efforts to train CERT volunteers in Haiti and their effectiveness following the devastating earthquakes last year.

All emergency responders in a major disaster will be sorely tested in time and resources and these community-based volunteers play a significant role in both preparing for disaster prior to occurrence and in the immediate response after a disaster strikes in the crucial first hours before state and national resources can be mobilized.

You’ll find links to more information about CERT training and community based volunteer first responders below.
