Key Take-Aways:
Hargrave JROTC has teamed up with the Harris County Fire 7 Safety Division and the Harris County of Emergency Management to offer Teen CERT. The Hargrave JROTC Teen Community Emergency Response Team Program (Teen CERT) trains teen citizens to help cope in the time period immediately following a disaster when local public safety resources may be overwhelmed. But more importantly, Teen CERT members learn how to prepare for a disaster long before one occurs. We will prepare for and respond to a hypothetical emergency, such as a hurricane, mass casualty accident, or epidemic. The Hargrave Falcon Bn with the Hargrave HOSA team endured a wonderful partnership well planned event.
