CERT Disaster Medical Operations Part 1 Lesson 

A disaster hits! You are OK and as you check on your family you find them to be alright as well. But when you check on your neighbors you find their house damaged and badly injured. If you respond quickly and efficiently you might save them. Thinking back to your CERT training - do you remember the 3 killers? Do you remember how to open an airway? Your other neighbor finds you and tells you that there are others who need medical assistance - do you remember how to triage? If these terms seem unfamiliar - then prepare to learn how to respond to medical emergencies!
