Subject: Community Emergency Response Team training Oct 31 & Nov 1
Importance: High





The Minneapolis Fire and Emergency Preparedness Office, under the Citizens
Corps banner, will be offering training for the formation of Business
Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT).  


The target audiences for this course are private citizens employed in
downtown Minneapolis that want the skills and knowledge required to prepare
for and respond to a disaster.


What Does CERT Do? 

The purpose of Business CERT training is to provide citizens with the basic
skills required to handle virtually all of their own needs and then to be
able to respond to their co-workers needs in the aftermath of a disaster.


What Does the Course Involve? 

The Business Community Emergency Response Team course consists of 16 hours
of training.  The course will be offered Tuesday, October 31st and
Wednesday, November 1st. Classes are taught by emergency responders from the
Minneapolis Fire Department.  To register for the Business CERT class e-mail
Susan Ude at  <mailto:susan.ude at ci.minneapolis.mn.us>
susan.ude at ci.minneapolis.mn.us or by phone at 612- 581-9624.


The CERT course training will cover the following topics: 

*	Emergency Preparedness: describe types of hazards most likely to
affect their offices, homes and communities, the function of CERT and the
role it plays in immediate response, and steps to take to prepare for
disaster. 


*	Fire Safety: identify and reduce fire hazards at home and at work,
team work to apply basic fire suppression strategies, resources and safety
measures to extinguish a burning liquid. 


*	First Aid: learn and apply techniques for opening airways,
controlling bleeding and shock, conducting triage, performing head-to-toe
assessments, set up treatments areas, and basic treatments for various
wounds. 


*	Search and Rescue: learn planning and size-up requirements for
potential search and rescue situations, learn common techniques for
searching a structure, safe techniques for debris removal and victim
extrication, and ways to protect rescuers doing search and rescue. 


*	Terrorism: learn the definition of terrorism, terrorist goals,
weapons that pose the greatest threat and cues that help identify when a
terrorist attack has occurred or may be imminent.
