Today, members of our team attended a demonstration by our neighboring team, CERT 203 - Franklin Township Community Emergency Response Team. They demonstrated field triage, a briefing tent, a command post, a sheltering area, and food distribution. It was great to see the different capabilities of a neighboring program and we look forward to increasing regional collaboration! (The photos are in no particular order)

The power to save a life doesn’t take years of Jedi training. Just learn the two steps of Hands-Only CPR.

If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of The Imperial March.
