While not a skill needed by CERT volunteers, the
opportunity to rappel off the training building is certainly
a fun perk. Couldn't make it this year? Watch
the action and make plans for next time!
City of Tampa residents can rest a little easier today,
knowing that another CERT
First Responder Class has
finished, and more people are on the streets ready, and
trained, to assist with CPR and first aid.
Watch as CERT volunteers take the next step and learn
more about saving lives. CPR training is one of the
many additional
classes CERT volunteers can take to make sure they are
ready to help in the event of an emergency.
The 2007 Annual Meeting included a visit from the City's
Emergency Coordinator,
Chauncia Willis, a filming by Cable TV (once available, the
video will be posted on the web site and shown on
City of Tampa Television CTTV) and free pizza provided
by
NYPD Pizza.
Hopefully, Tampa will never experience an emergency
requiring the services of CERT volunteers, but just in case
it does, volunteers keep their skills honed in training and
special exercises.
Watch as the class from First Baptist of Lutz rescues
"victims" from a building, performs first aid, and then
graduates from their basic CERT training class. Ready
