CERT helps communities prepare With the ever-present threat of terrorism and natural disasters, more and more communities are discovering file advantages to having an active Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) in place. Janet Lindquisl. an EMT and CERT commander for Mil_lard_ County, was instrumental in organizing the highly successful CERT program there. After completing the [raining course nearly five years ago, she saw the potential CERT had for Millard County and soon became involved in building a program. In eight years, that program has grown to 450 members who are all trained in disaster preparedness and response. Community support is the key to a successful CERT program, Lindquisl said. While most CERT programs are funded through federal grants, Millard County commissioners have pledged moral and fiscal support. Because of this support, CERT training is offered on a regular basis in Millard County. Lindquisl and her colleagues also take their program to other counties - sometimes even other slates. For example, CERT members from Millard County offered assistance in Florida following the devastating 2004 hurricane season. Sevier County's CERT program is much newer than neighboring Millard County's, but CERT coordinator Shara Baslian said citizens there have already recognized the program's significance. "[CERT] is a good program because of what you learn," she said. "It's a good way for communities to be prepared in times of disaster and for citizens to take care of themselves when first respondcrs aren't available." Rita Bice, a CERT instructor in LaVerkin, Utah, said she loves Ihe programs universal appeal. Teen graduates have chosen Eagle Seoul projects that benefit CERT and other emergency programs in the area. Retirees also find in CERT a sense of self-sufficiency they couldn't get anywhere else. "'Hie underlying principle is that (he more individuals are prepared for a disaster - mentally and physically - the more confidence they gain in themselves," she said. "In the past they wouldn't even consider lhat they could help themselves during trying times, but they are now committed to not being a burden on others by obtaining preparedness knowledge." The Southern Utah Citizen Corps Council is gearing up for a CERT training event April 7-9 that will help current CERT members renew their training.
