Special training was the focus of the June 11 meeting our Verona Walk CERT Team. We fortunate to have members of the Fire Department present to not only lecture but demonstrate proper technique in implementing CPR and using our AED equipment.
The pictures show our team working on a training mannequin. Note how the electrical leads are placed on the body, and then how team members get "clear" before the shock is administered.
Having knowledge of how to use these techniques and equipment could someday save a life. That's why we are there. Hopefully we won't be needed, but if we are, we will be prepared.
