8. GeorgeV: From Paula Vetter: If you are available, would you help our
CERT recruits graduate by playing the part of a victim? March 17 from 8am
to 1230pm at the Arch Cape Fire Station. Your help would be greatly
appreciated as it brings a realism to the drill that we can’t provide
without you. You’re welcome to bring family, friends, and co-workers, just
give me a count when you rsvp. This is a great service to your community.
The most important thing to bring (read wear) is OLD clothing. Moulage
makeup can stain - esp the fake blood. If you have torn pants or shirt,
please wear them. Regardless of weather, please wear closed toe shoes. We
will provide coffee, and various snacks. This is a great chance to learn
what CERT is all about and to make your contribution to public safety.
