John Cornell and Tim Terrazas of KFD described upcoming Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) workshops for the North Shore. The Princeville Clubhouse series is set for Feb. 24 and Mar. 2, 9, 16, 23, 30 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.; the Kilauea workshop series will be Mar. 15, 22, 29 and Apr. 5, 12, 19 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Cornell and Terrazas explained CERT’s purpose: training volunteers to help professional first responders when contact may be cut off or agencies are overwhelmed. The trainers urged community members to sign up for the courses and described the role of CERT teams in disaster response and local resilience.
Why it matters: CERT training builds local capacity to respond during emergencies and augments professional firefighters and police when incidents strain resources.
