MEETINGS
- For 2009, instead
of the typical meeting/presentation schedule, SB CAER is
sponsoring an Industrial Emergency Response Team (IERT)
training program. All types of businesses of all sizes are
encouraged to participate. This is essentially a beginner to
mid level course, so fits well even if a participant has had
no previous training.
The program is modeled
after the FEMA/Red Cross/LA Fire program developed a few
years ago. We have changed it somewhat to address the
concerns of business & industry, although it’s still very
similar to the neighborhood-themed original.
The classes will be held on
the third Wednesday of Feb – June, from 2-5 pm, at the SB
Red Cross. A number of Instructors have agreed to teach, and
represent 6-8 public and private organizations. The class
costs $25 for CAER members, and $35 for non-members. This
cost is to cover course materials, a backpack for
participants to fill with emergency supplies, and various
honorariums for the instructors and venues.
The last class will include
a simulation, and while we’re still working on the location,
we hope to hold it in a deserted or partially vacant
building where we can create realistic disaster scenarios
that may occur at a business. The participants will then get
to practice what they’ve learned over the previous months.
Class size is limited to 20
persons to ensure that all participants receive significant
one on one instruction.
