Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make our emergency response training a success!

We had a fantastic CERT training on Saturday! Some of the disaster response skills covered included medical operations like basic first aid and triage, light search and rescue, lifts/drags/carries, emergency communications and more! Special thanks to our friends Peabody Mill Environmental Center - PMEC for letting us use their facility and to the incredible volunteer "victims" who helped put our new trainees to the test in a simulated emergency.
