annual West CERT Event in Los Gatos. It will be on *Saturday, September
19th at the Los Gatos Civic Center, 110 E. Main Street (at Fiesta
Avenue) Town Council Chambers. The drill begins with sign in at 8 am
and ends at 1 pm*.
For those of you who are CERT members, this is a chance to practice the
skills we learned in CERT training. Several scenarios will be
presented. Before each drill, instructors will give everyone an
overview of the drill and reminder of basic skills needed. There's no
need to anxious if it's been awhile since you took your CERT training*/./*
Drill participants should have all of their CERT equipment including
/helmet, vest, gloves, eye protection, flashlight, and wear long pants
and closed-toed shoes/*/./*
If you are not a CERT Member, you can still get involved! You and your
family and friends can help make this drill more interesting and
realistic by volunteering to be the role-players in the scenarios.
Volunteers are needed (children, too!) to play the role of 'disaster
victims' and will be professionally made up to reflect whatever injury
is appropriate for assigned situation. It's fun to do - and interesting!
/*Can we count on your participation? CERT Participants and role-players
please register by sending an email to CERT@Losgatosca.gov
(preferred method of registration) or
calling 408-399-5722. */
After you register, there will be follow-up communications so you are
prepared for the drill. I look forward to seeing you there!
