Kirkwood Road, St. Louis, MO A contribution designated restricted for a specific purpose, when accepted, will be used only to fund expenses related to that purpose. Occasionally, we may receive more in contributions for a particular purpose than can be wisely applied to it in the foreseeable future or the purpose may cease to be feasible. If a contributor cannot be contacted, the LCMS will use the gift to meet a similar pressing need that most closely matches the contributor's original intent.

After ordering, it takes approximately weeks for shipping and delivery. Orders placed on January 8, should arrive in time for training courses scheduled for March or after. If you have recently ordered CERT Basic Training Course Instructor Guides or Participant Manuals or have a supply of materials currently, there is no need to reorder immediately as the content is similar.

They will be posted to ready. Please check the ready. A: Yes. A: No, your old materials remain relevant, we recommend that you continue using them until you receive new materials AND your trainers have reviewed the CERT Basic Training Instructor Guide and are ready to present the new materials. By providing props and items that CERT members may use in a response effort, individuals can become familiar with feel of materials, proper use of equipment, and retain knowledge and tips.

You may add this training with the approval of your sponsoring organization. Feedback received in the review of the materials indicated that many sponsoring organizations were uncomfortable teaching triage as outlined because local procedures often vary widely from the curriculum materials.

The triage component was not serving a national audience. Additionally, many leaders were not comfortable with placing lay-persons in the position of categorizing the injured without more extensive medical training than is offered in CERT Basic.

If a sponsoring organization has qualified instructors, and wants to teach triage in their CERT Courses, they may do so. This change empowers state, local, tribal and territorial program sponsors to better tailor training and will remove a significant point of concern for other localities considering adoption of CERT in their area. A: Programs may, with the agreement and supervision of their sponsoring organization, add elements to, but not take away from the CERT Basic Training Course curriculum.

This might include elements such as triage, or courses such as Stop the Bleed, or CPR when provided by qualified instructors as proscribed by the American Heart Association. Programs are encouraged to adopt You Are the Help Until Help Arrives not only for members, but as outreach programming within their communities.
