Brookville is a small city with a population of just over 5,000. We realize that if a disaster hits our area not only will our resources be limited but we will probably be isolated for a period of time.
Volunteerism is very strong in our community, so we were not surprized when 27 people signed up for our first class. They have recently graduated and we anticipate 2 to 3 more classes by the end of 2004. |

| Brief Description: |
Banding together as a team in June of 2003, the four communities (Brooklyn Heights, Independence, Seven Hills and Valley View), began the cooperative effort to create QUAD CITY CERT.
Under the direction of the Executive Board, committees developed procedures for training, team activation, transportation, communication, and mass inoculation.
The team created a website, an on-line database, and By-Laws. We were awarded two FEMA grants which were used to purchase necessary equipment inclyuding a fire training unit, a trailer, CERT disaster kits, and other emergency-related supplies.
A mass inoculation drill was held in April, 2005 with 120 workers getting 300 volunteer victims through the system.
The QUAD CITY CERT includes 11 certified instructors; over 300 trained members; and over 500 reserve volunteers. Training is on-going and new volunteers are always welcome! |
