Re: [californiadisasters] CERT Update (Previously Posted on Daily Brief)

That sounds interesting.  I might have to take the whole CERT program just so I could take those ...

Hello CERT trainers, coordinators, members and advocates,

The CERT National Program Office is pleased to announce the release of
two new supplemental training modules, CERT Animal Response I and CERT
Animal Response II. The new Animal Response modules are the first in a
series of supplemental training modules building on the disaster
response training that program participants receive in the CERT Basic
Training course. The supplemental modules are designed to expand the
skills of CERT members and teams, and to increase CERT's ability to
support emergency response professionals. The Animal Response modules,
as well as other CERT supplemental training to be released in the
future, are intended for those who have completed the basic training.

The Animal Response modules generally address pets, service animals,
"for-profit" livestock, wildlife, exotic animals and non-commercial
livestock such as horses. CERT Animal Response I (three hours) will
teach CERT members emergency preparedness for animal owners,
animal-related functions in emergency management and how to recognize
specific animal behaviors.

CERT Animal Response II (four hours) will teach members their role in
responding to animal issues and the skills needed when they encounter
animals while performing their broader CERT response functions. As in
all CERT training, these new supplemental modules also feature CERT
responder safety.

The training materials for each module include an Instructor Guide,
Participant Manual and PowerPoint file. CERT instructors may download
the materials from the National CERT website. Please go to Training
Materials on the CERT home page and then select CERT Supplemental
Training,
