Safe  Evacuation (with Barbara Morita)
Stabilizing & Moving Injured Victims

Skills training on how and whether to safely move an injured victim.

Success depends upon a good plan. We will logic our way through: stabilization, head-to-toe exam, assess whether to move. Develop a plan, gather resources. Then execute
it smoothly and safely using CERT skills.

• • Touch on Light Search & Rescue basics
  • Hands on practice “carries” and devices
  • Roles for everyone

Note: this is  not a fire evacuation training.
