KSL - Shakeout CERT Training Report

KSL covered the Great Utah Shakeout and posted a video segment on CERT.

Notice towards the end of the coverage, they included what I interpret as Block Captains working in a "Neighborhood Disaster Drill"...walking the neighborhood, reporting into a communications center.

I like how they merged the two together.  Block Captains will play a big role in the successful use of CERT teams in a neighborhood.  With Block Captains walking their neighborhood and reporting situations in to the Command Center,  CERT teams can then be dispatched out to assist specific situations.
