The Contra Costa County CERT organizations will hold a Multi City CERT Drill on 9/11/2010. The Contra Costa DART organizations will participate alongside the American Red Cross. Together, we will set up emergency shelters for animals and their companions.
The Drill begins at 8:00 am and ends at 3:00 pm. The location is the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Training Facility at 2945 Treat Blvd., Concord, CA 94518.
Overall, there will be five activities during the drill:
- Set up and operate a Volunteer Intake Center;
- Set up and operate an Emergency Red Cross Shelter;
- Set up and operate an Emergency Animal Shelter;
- Set up a Triage / Treatment Area;
- Perform Light Search and Rescue;
Through a number of scenarios participants’ skills will be assessed in a live skills practice.
We need as many DART graduates as we can get. This is a great opportunity to practice, to deepen our relationship with the American Red Cross and to demonstrate to CERT members the advantage of joining DART.
