| Cert Description |
| The City of Richmond Fire Department Office of Emergency Services offers R.E.A.C.T. (Richmond Emergency Action Community Teams) training to the entire community. Our motto is "The City and the Community working together to protect lives and property." R.E.A.C.T. began in June 1995, developed from F.E.M.A.'s CERT program. Our goal is to help our residents, schools, churches, and business and city employees be self sufficient in a major disaster by developing and training multi-functional teams in basic emergency skills. Classes are taught at community centers across the city by Richmond Fire Fighters. The full course includes four two hour classes covering earthquake preparedness, team development, utlity control, fire fighting techniques, hazardous materials, disater medicine, light search and rescue, disasterpsychology and special needs assesment. Disaster drills are held twice a year to test and re-fresh skills. Students receive a workbook, hard hat and vest.
Certified R.E.A.C.T. teams are elligible to complete R.E.A.C.T. Communications training. Students learn how to communicate damage assessment information to the city's E.O.C. via CB radio during a disaster. The certified R.E.A.C.T. team receives a free CB radio which they are responsible for. |
