 You're being activated. They'd like you to report out to the Alameda County Fairgrounds. The stage is set. Who's medical? Everyone has a role. What was your character's name out here? My character. It originally started as a bird tie. Consider this a dress rehearsal. Because when a real disaster gets, they all need to know their part. Five, six, seven, eight, twenty. So let's set the scene. It's the Bay Area. These stables are now playing the part of a building. A building that is like a daycare center. And we're having an earthquake that happened and it collapsed the building. Again, Don is playing the role of Roberta. And I was a mother, and I was 57 years old, weighing 110 pounds. Power lines down, standing water, four people trapped in vehicle. Mayhem ensues. There's damage and destruction, injuries and death. A lot of us is trapped. Children are trapped in here. And the search teams are going to try to rescue us. And we're off. Now it's time for the performance to begin. The curtain's going up. Some CERT members are playing the patient, but with no pesky director to stifle creativity. It's all up to me, whatever I want to be, yeah. I say just go out there and do play this role. The rest are being challenged to assess each patient's unique situation and injuries and perform the rescue. Grab a four by four, slap it on there and get it out of here. Okay, one, two, three, here we go. All right. The exercise today at Urban Shield in Alameda County is structured and evaluated. Otherwise, CERT volunteer training varies. Don says he puts in about five hours a month. My wife got me into it because my wife's parents were involved in it. So it's a generation that's being passed down. Give yourselves a hand. Well done. Good job. The curtain falls on this performance. Everyone gave it their all and learned a lot. What have you gotten out of it? Well, it's made me realize where my shortcomings and gear are. CERT members are everyday people. They're here because they want to be prepared and help others when the call comes. Hi guys, we are West of Houston in Fort Bend County. It's just an unbelievable day. We just rescued this family of 10. Jenny, how are you guys doing? We're doing okay. We're just so thankful for the volunteers that are out here helping us be again, putting their own lives at risk. We're just so blessed. What are some of the key characteristics of anyone who might volunteer? Anybody can volunteer. That's what's nice about it. It's not an age, you know. You can be 80 years old, you can be 15 years old. It doesn't matter. It's all for me. I do not rescue people for them. It's just something I do as a volunteer to help out. You're going to be fine.
