During the event BayCERT and other volunteers would take a role in teaching and training with hands on experience on different skills. The team had to train an average of 200 students per day, making this a large scale event. BayCERT was assigned training on Fire Supression, Gang Plank, Patient Transport, Size-up, and Tower search.










Through this event all Teen CERT participants completed their hands-on finals despite rain with the supervision of BayCERT. Finally the event concluded without a hitch and all participants involved with satisfactory results. This was a fun event and a great time to keep your training sharp. We would like to thank all the volunteers that managed to come this year. We hope to see you next time. And we hope that more can participate and be part of the next generation of CERT trained individuals.
