CERT Final

The final for my Campus Emergency Response Team is next Tuesday. We will practice extricating victims and triage, like we've been training for the last 6 weeks.

I could be more nervous about it, but I was the class demonstrator for triage, and I was sweating bullets then...this time it should be a piece of cake.

July 29, 2008 our training ended with an earthquake. A moderate-size one and a real one. About 15 minutes before our class was to end. Our final is also an earthquake, but a fake one.

We learned out to use crow bars and wedges to untrap people. We at least learned how to walk with our goggles, green vests and helmets on.

I do hope my leg gets better by then...
