<br />Eugene Springfield Fire and Community Emergency Response Team Drill <br />On Mar. 19, approximately 50 area Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members, Eugene Springfield <br />firefighters, and other community members joined together for an emergency response exercise. The City of Eugene <br />and the City of Springfield hope the lessons learned from this <br />joint exercise will help enhance neighborhood disaster-planning <br />efforts. <br /> <br />Experience teaches that following a major disaster, individuals <br />may need to rely on each other before professional emergency <br />services can arrive. In an effort to support a disaster resilient <br />community, CERT volunteers and Eugene Springfield Fire came <br />together to use their triage and disaster medical skills from <br />basic CERT training to support local fire professionals. <br /> <br />The City of Eugene and <br />City of Springfield <br />Emergency Management <br />programs work closely together to train CERT volunteers as part of their <br />disaster preparedness and community outreach programs. The CERT training <br />program includes basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search <br />and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. The City of <br />Eugene administers the Eugene-Springfield Area CERT program. <br /> <br />For more information, go to the CERT website www.Eugenecert.com. Local <br />coverage of the event may be viewed at http://nbc16.com/news/local/cert-training-in-eugene, or <br />http://www.kezi.com/news/Locals_Participate_in_Emergency_Disaster_Drill_.html.
