CERT drills open to participants

Published 3:34 pm Friday, October 9, 2015

Carnation-Duvall Citizen Corps annually practices responses to simulated disasters. The group has simulated an earthquake with survivors in Tolt-MacDonald Park and a breach of the Tolt Dam, meeting with students and residents up on Evacuation Hill above Carnation.  Last May, they simulated a wildfire evacuation at Lake Margaret.

The training is rooted in solid examples of benefits from drills.

Interested residents, willing to be trained as a member of CERT or Medical Reserve Corps or as an amateur radio operator, are welcome to participate in the next Carnation-Duvall Citizen Corps exercise. Contact the group at info@carnationduvallcitizencorps.org or call (206) 947-1930 for more information.
