The training consists of the following:<\/p>\n<p><b>Unit 1, DISASTER PREPAREDNESS:<\/b> Addresses hazards to which people are vulnerable in their community. Materials cover actions that participants and their families take before, during, and after a disaster. As the session progresses, the instructor begins to explore an expanded response role for civilians in that they should begin to consider themselves disaster workers. Since they will want to help their family members and neighbors, this training can help them operate in a safe and appropriate manner. The CERT concept and organization are discussed as well as applicable laws governing volunteers in that jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p><b>Unit 2, DISASTER FIRE SUPPRESSION:<\/b> Briefly covers fire chemistry, hazardous materials, fire hazards, and fire suppression strategies. However, the thrust of this session is the safe use of fire extinguishers, sizing up the situation, controlling utilities, and extinguishing a small fire.<\/p>\n<p><b>Unit 3, DISASTER MEDICAL OPERATIONS PART I:<\/b> Participants practice diagnosing and treating airway obstruction, bleeding, and shock by using simple triage and rapid treatment techniques.<\/p>\n<p><b>Unit 4, DISASTER MEDICAL OPERATIONS, PART II:<\/b> Covers evaluating patients by doing a head to toe assessment, establishing a medical treatment area, performing basic first aid, and practicing in a safe and sanitary manner.<\/p>\n<p><b>Unit 5, LIGHT SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATIONS: <\/b>Participants learn about search and rescue planning, size-up, search techniques, rescue techniques, and most important, rescuer safety.<\/p>\n<p><b>Unit 6, TEAM ORGANIZATION:<\/b> Addresses CERT organization and management principles and the need for documentation.<\/p>\n<p><b>Unit 7, DISASTER PSYCHOLOGY: <\/b>Covers signs and symptoms that might be experienced by the disaster victim and worker.<\/p>\n<p><b>Unit 8, TERRORISM and SHELTER IN PLACE:<\/b> Participants learn terrorism awareness and response as well as Shelter in Place procedures.<\/p>\n<p><b>Unit 9, COURSE REVIEW AND DISASTER SIMULATION:<\/b> Participants review their answers from a take home examination. Finally, they practice the skills that they have learned during the previous six sessions in disaster activity.<\/p>\n<p>During each session participants are required to bring safety equipment (gloves, goggles, mask) and disaster supplies (bandages, flashlight, dressings) which will be used during the session. By doing this for each session, participants are building a disaster response kit of items that they will need during a disaster.<\/p>\n<p>The CERT course is taught in the community by trained teams who have completed a CERT Train-the-Trainer course conducted by their state training office for emergency management, or FEMA&#8217;s Emergency Management Institute (EMI), located in Emmitsburg, Maryland. CERT training includes disaster preparedness, disaster fire suppression, basic disaster medical operations, and light search and rescue operations.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-4\">Teen Cert<\/h2>\n<p>Over 900 instructors nationwide have affected the lives of over 10, 000 youth by enabling them to respond to crisis and events that require an advanced level of disaster response capabilities. Through this enablement process, students have empowered themselves to respond to events, and have thus rescued individuals trapped under debris after a tornado, saved lives of individuals caught in a rip tide, and provided medical first responder skills in numerous instances. In my opinion, through the actions of these trained youth, many people owe not only their lives to the student responder and the skills learned in Teen CERT, but these students eased the pain and suffering of individuals who were victims of accidents.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"mt-4\">Preparedness<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-info text-dark col-12 col-sm-8 col-md-4 col-lg-3 col-xl-2 mb-3\" href=\"\/fire-rescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/Springville-City-Emergency-Operations-Plan-2025-edition-final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Springville City Emergency Operations Plan 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Winter Preparedness<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/VEE3qp1YizE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Winter Preparedness Video<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/safety\/cold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cold Weather Safety<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/safety\/winter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Weather Service<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mb-5 clearfix\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Springville Fire &amp; Rescue Emergency Preparedness Springville City-wide Emergency Preparedness Citizen Alert Emergency Drill CERT Springville City Emergency Operations Plan 2025 Emergency Drill The Springville Drill will be held in conjunction with The Great Utah Shakeout on April 16, 2026.
