Outagamie County CERT

Outagamie County CERT The Rehab Service is defined as: "providing for the physical and personal needs of the individuals who respond to emergency situations. Rest and recovery.
3.

The mission statement of the CERT Rehab Team is to provide quality rehabilitation services along with a safe and secure resting area for all emergency response personnel throughout Outagamie County for extended emergency situations. This includes providing food and fluid replenishment, rest for worn out emergency personnel, and emotional support." The Rehab Service is structured to be a rapid or q

uick response service team for emergency situations considered to be long in duration - three hours or more - and is able to support multi-day events as well. Early notification is critical in the service team's ability to properly fulfill their mission. Travel distance and time will affect response and arrival time. Rehab Services: Rehab strives to provide the highest level of quality services possible to any fire, rescue, law enforcement, medical, and HAZMAT agency throughout Outagamie County. NFPA Standard 1584 is the cornerstone document driving the Rehab Service. There are nine key components of Rehab required by NFPA 1584. Of the nine, CERT-Rehab will attempt to do the following six components:

1. Relief from climatic conditions.
2. Active and passive cooling.
4. Rehydration.
5. Calorie and electrolyte replacement.
6. Member accountability. Others will handle:
7. Medical monitoring.
8. Emergency medical services.
9. Release. Communications: Rehab Response Units are equipped with cell phones and some minimal radio equipment which are available for use as needed. Rehab can also establish a central point of information for both responders and the general public. Rehab is NOT a communications/command unit. In addition to the noted services provided for emergency situations, Rehab is also available to support special training situations, public relation events, stand-by's, fire department open house events, and most any other event on a pre-scheduled basis.

April and May passed by in the blink of an eye, and I do not want to miss the opportunity to recognize our incredible CERT team for the outstanding volunteer work they provided during the historic flooding in the northwest part of our county.

CERT members — including several of our newest volunteers — stepped up wherever they were needed. They assisted with sandbagging operations, emergency sheltering, donations management, EOC operations, damage assessments, and support for the Multi-Agency Resource Center. Our team also extended its efforts into Winnebago and Waupaca Counties to assist with damage assessment activities there.

I am incredibly proud to be part of this amazing group of dedicated volunteers. Your willingness to serve, your compassion, and your commitment to helping others during a difficult time did not go unnoticed.

Thank you for everything you do for our communities.
