CERT DRILL: TEAM LOCATES AND ASSISTS VICTIM





The first alarm went off at 7:00AM. A horrible time to get up on a Saturday morning, but we did. If we were lucky we got a cup of coffee before grabbing the gear and arriving at Town Center by 8:00AM to conduct a planned Team Drill.

With everybody signed in we were given our radios and the mission was explained. An elderly man with Alzheimer's Disease was missing within the community.Our task was to Search and Rescue

Multiple teams were quickly assigned search areas and worked searching specific streets and common areas. As clues were found they were reported and noted at the Command Center. Eventually we heard the call: "We found the man."

With the mission completed the Team reassembled at Town Center for a debriefing and some good old doughnuts. Job Well Done.
