Come join us in a field day to practice setting up our field Animal Shelter.
In disaster settings, we can’t choose where a shelter will be set up. While buildings are ideal, they are not always available. We have a series of field tents and associated gear that we can bring to a disaster scene and set up a field shelter.
Additionally, sometimes buildings are not large enough to hold the shelter and intake/ command/ aid station, etc., so often times we also need to set up tents those functions.
This event will be for any CERT member, but is particularly aimed at those who are Animal Shelter trained. There are no prerequisites to attend this event. If we can get as many CERT members familiar with our shelter tents and associated equipment, we speed up how fast we can bring a site on line.
