 When a disaster comes, it's going to affect everyone. With funding from the Organization of American States, the National Emergency Management Organization, NEMO, facilitated a community emergency response team, or CERT training program, to further empower local communities with the know-how and skill sets to prepare for and also mitigate the impact of natural hazards. CERT participants underwent five days of basic, theoretical and practical disaster preparedness and disaster management exercises. So we're teaching them a number of skills from life-saving skills, basic first aid, basic CPR, basic land and search rescue, how to use a fire extinguisher. We teach them disaster psychology. Most persons negate the need for psychology after the disaster or even during it. And PTSD, as you can see, is affecting many people across the region. Now, again, we're giving them just the basics and if they understand the basics, that foundation makes it easy for the professional to come in and build upon it and make everything better for everyone. NEMO targeted west coast-based tourism industry stakeholders, including tour operators and hospitality workers to undergo the initial CERT training program. I'm a tour guide at Gruppito and I believe that whatever I've learned here has helped me tremendously in terms of preparing for a disaster before and after. And also, I could also help my peers, neighbours, et cetera. A scale of one to ten. Ten being very well, one being I need more training. How much would you say would your knowledge on disaster preparedness and emergency management? Well, my knowledge about disaster preparedness at the moment, I will say about seven. At least so now. This training now? This training from seven, it brought it up to eight and a half. Yes, so there I am thankful about it because our company, we have been in existence for about ten years now and we're looking to go even further. So with the training, with the training, I'm looking forward to assist our other workers as well. With that, I am there in this training as well. So thank you very much. See what would happen if you throw a water on an oil fire. All right? It comes out like I'm spraying fuel or gasoline on a fire. Upon completion of the CERT program, the participants would have attained new and improved disaster response skill sets, ranging from disaster response planning and management, coordinating post-disaster medical operations, and best practices in fire safety. In using the fire extinguisher, there's an acronym PAS. P in PAS is to pull a safety pin. A, you aim at the base of the fire. Your first S, you squeeze your trigger. Expanding local access to disaster management training programs such as CERT can also alleviate the national emergency management system. Take for example, we in Forsythia, Forsythia has during Thomas and even Debbie, they were locked out from the wider community, especially in the morning professionals for hours, some places even for days. But this training would ensure that whoever is in there, the first trained responders can help build that resilience for anymore. It will definitely ship in the response of everybody going forward. Because if you have a good foundation, it makes it easier to build. And if everyone takes this training seriously, and we know that they are, and if every community that we go to, we can get persons to volunteer to come in, it's going to make it a lot easier for them because when they know what the professionals are looking for, it makes it easier for when the professionals come in to come in and mitigate or prevent further damage. Opening a CERT training program to community-based, public and private sector entities can further strengthen the island's national disaster preparedness and disaster management response.
