Immediately after the great
7.0 earthquake...stops rumbling, help is quickly on the way for everyone
in Scott Johnson's West Valley City
neighborhood. It is not from the fire
department or police. They will be too busy with collapsed schools, nursing
homes, shopping centers and other big problems to allow coming to Johnson's
residential neighborhood for days.
The help is coming instead
from neighbors whom Johnson organized in advance. They have written plans to
follow and are well trained. Meanwhile, residents in less-organized
neighborhoods are merely "winging it" — and many die needlessly amid
chaos, including untrained, would-be rescuers who enter buildings that collapse
on them.
Johnson helped his
neighborhood form a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT ).
