Where we’re going What’s next for Citizen Corps and CERT?

Further involvement We will continue to train new CERT members We will try to focus more on keeping existing CERT members involved through continuing training –Many communities already doing this –Some courses are CPR, First Aid, dealing with animals in disaster, dealing with Alzheimers patients in disaster, etc. What are you doing in you community?

Teen CERT We hope to expand the Teen CERT program Will you be the first program outside Cass County? The Teen CERT program, like adult CERT is completely free to the community Training could take place in school or in youth clubs, i.e. Boy Scouts, 4H, etc.

Other stuff National Citizen Corps is re-writing the CERT manual –Will include annexes for different setting and continuing training modules A train-the-trainer curriculum should be coming out –Hope to hold train-the-trainer classes when new curriculum is released

And now for you… What are your suggestions? What would you like to see?
