The overall goal of this unified CERT initiative was to provide education and awareness in emergency prepareness to 100 students and community residents. To date, 60 trained CERT volunteers are equipped with CERT Kits and ready to serve. The campus-based CERT volunteers consist of approximately 35 college students who are assigned to seven campus dormitories (in which they reside)and classroom buildings across the university (where they study, as well as work alongside campus-based first responders as part of their service learning activities. Likewise, university practicum student teachers completing the CERT training will deploy much needed emergency response and safety skills to prospective public schools in which they will perform their practice teaching,thus, establishing essential disaster readiness skills within the local schools. Twenty-five community residents (to include 3 members of the Claiborne County Board of Supervisors) who attended this CERT training will be on standby and assist the local EOC and Office of Homeland Security when needed. Local supervisors will organize these new CERT volunteers to represent each of their districts/communities. Ultimately, their roles are to provide assistance within their respective neighborhoods and county districts in event of disasters or other crises or when called upon. Local sponsors are the Alcorn State University Office of Student Engagement, Grand Gulf Nuclear Plant, Alcorn State University R.O.T.C., Claiborne County Civil Defense, Claiborne County Office of Homeland Security, and the Mississippi Highway Watch Program. |
