Light search and rescue operations consist of sizeup, search, and rescue. Sizeup is a continual 9-step process involving gathering facts, assessing damage, establishing priorities, and developing a plan of action. The goals of search and rescue are to rescue the greatest number of people in the shortest time while maintaining rescuer safety. Search techniques include calling out, following a grid pattern, and stopping frequently to listen. Victim removal methods include leveraging, cribbing, and carries that minimize risk to rescuers.
This document provides an overview of disaster medical operations for CERT Basic Training Unit 4. It covers establishing medical treatment areas, conducting head-to-toe assessments of patients, treating common injuries like burns, fractures, and bites/stings. It emphasizes the importance of public health considerations like hygiene, sanitation, and water purification when providing medical care following a disaster.
This document provides an overview of terrorism and the role of CERT teams. It defines terrorism and identifies potential terrorist targets. Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive weapons are discussed. The document outlines eight signs of terrorist activity and indicators of an attack. Procedures for CERT members to prepare, shelter in place, decontaminate and report possible incidents are described. The role of CERT is to protect themselves and notify authorities, without attempting to directly engage or treat victims during active terrorist events.
This document provides an overview of disaster medical operations training for CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) members. It discusses two assumptions for why CERT members need medical training: that the number of victims could exceed local treatment capacity, and that survivors will provide assistance. The document outlines the importance of quick action to treat life-threatening conditions like airway obstruction, bleeding, and shock. It describes the START method of simple triage and rapid treatment of victims. The objectives are to identify and treat the "killers" of airway issues, bleeding, and shock, as well as to practice triage skills.
This document provides an overview of disaster preparedness and the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program. It discusses the roles of government, community leaders, and the public in disaster preparedness. It also outlines types of disasters, hazards, and the importance of developing personal and organizational preparedness plans. The document describes CERT training, which teaches fire safety, disaster medical operations, search and rescue, and how teams can assist emergency responders during disasters by providing immediate assistance to victims.
The document discusses first aid in the workplace. It defines first aid and outlines the principles and aims of first aid. It describes assessing hazards to determine first aid needs, and explains that a first aid program includes identifying and training first aiders, providing first aid kits and equipment, and setting up a first aid room if needed. Training levels depend on the risks present, with a higher level required for hazards like chemicals.
The document proposes a mobile data collection system to improve coordination and efficiency in urban search and rescue efforts. The current practice of manually recording and sharing data results in delays, whereas the new system allows rescuers in the field to collect and share geo-located data, photos, and notes to provide a global picture of the search status. The data is stored locally and uploaded when an internet connection is available, without relying on immediate connectivity. This increases coordination between search and rescue teams and speeds up rescue efforts, which can save lives.

This document provides information about search and rescue (SAR) operations in Washington State. It discusses who SAR volunteers are, their mission to locate, access, stabilize, and transport those in need, and the legal authority governing SAR. It outlines goals to improve training programs and response guidelines. SAR volunteers dedicate incredible time and spend their own money to save lives as unpaid professionals. The document presents SAR mission statistics for Washington State counties from 2010-2013 that show an increasing number of missions each year.
Urban search-and-rescue (US&R) involves locating, rescuing, and providing medical stabilization to victims trapped in confined spaces during disasters. A US&R task force consists of 62 specialized personnel, including search specialists, rescuers, technical experts, medics, and canine units. They are self-sufficient for 72 hours and have equipment for operations like searching collapsed structures, extricating and triaging victims, and managing rescue sites.

This document covers disaster psychology and managing stress for CERT team members and disaster victims. It describes common psychological and physical symptoms of trauma after a disaster, as well as steps team members can take to reduce their own stress and help survivors, such as listening without judgment. Critical incident stress debriefing is outlined as a way to help CERT members and victims process their experiences. The document emphasizes the importance of self-care for CERT members to manage the emotional impacts of responding to disasters.
This unit discusses the CERT organization structure and documentation requirements. It describes how CERT teams utilize the Incident Command System to organize their response, with a designated Incident Commander/Team Leader who establishes command and prioritizes response activities. Proper documentation of actions, assessments, and resource usage is critical and should flow from field teams to the command post to maintain situational awareness and accountability. Safety of rescuers is the top priority in determining appropriate response levels based on damage assessments.
This document outlines Unit 2 of the CERT Basic Training on fire safety and utility controls. The unit objectives are to explain the CERT's role in fire safety, identify potential fire and utility risks, describe the CERT sizeup process, conduct a basic fire sizeup, explain basic safety precautions, and identify hazardous materials. Topics covered include fire chemistry, hazards in homes and workplaces, the CERT sizeup process, classes of fire, firefighting resources, fire suppression safety, and hazardous materials identification. The document emphasizes that CERT members should always prioritize their own safety and only fight fires they are equipped and trained to handle.
