社區緊急應變小組Community Emergency Response Team

平凡如你我，也能救人於水火 Ordinarry people can help save lives in a natural disaster

各年齡層人士部可以參與CERT計一甚至還有專門為青少年設計的訓練計畫。

在地CERT培訓人員會舉辦年度訓練課程，並於其後一年裡提供後續課程以強化技能，CERT計畫在多種不同層面中都非增有助益；志工受訓成為社區的眼睛與耳朵，為後續抵達、尚不了解情況的急難教助人員找出受困災民的位置。

志工學習撲滅小火災、關閉水電公共設施、援救倖存者，並提供基本醫療救護。

此外，志工還會擬定就在計畫以疏散家戶並且收集、儲存諸如水、食物和急教箱等救災物資。

CERT與專業人員並肩合作，能夠有效降低傷亡及財損。

目前，全美各地都有CERT計畫，而且超過六十萬人已經訓成為志工。

巴西、紐西華和土耳其也有類似計畫。

各地市民競相参與計畫，因為他們深信社區每一個人在災害防治中都是要角。

通過稱職的團隊合作，當災難發生時，CERT志工不僅保護了自己，世也保護了的人。

People of all ages can participate in a CERT program – there is even a teen program for adolescents. Local CERT trainers hold an annual training class and provide subsequent classes throughout the year to reinforce skills.

CERT programs are useful on many different levels. Volunteers are trained to act as eyes and ears, locating trapped victims for uniformed emergency responders who arrive later. They learn to put out small fires, shut off utilities, rescue survivors and provide basic medical treatment.

Volunteers also create disaster plans to

evacuate families as well as assemble and

store disaster supplies such as water, food

and first-aid kits. Working with

professionals, a CERT team can help

reduce injuries, loss of life and property

damage.

There are now CERT programs throughout the United States, and more than 600,000 people have trained as volunteers. Brazil, New Zealand and Turkey have similar programs. Citizens participate because they believe that everyone in a community has a role in disaster preparedness. By working competently as a team, CERT volunteers protect not only themselves but also the people around them when disasters occur.
