Nevada High school By John Carr

This article discussed a program at a high school in Nevada, where twenty six students were taught how to stabilize injuries in an emergency situation.  The program they were taking part in was CERT, the Community Emergency Response Team it i s a 20 hour risk training which teaches students how to help and do the most they can in cases of emergencies. They want people to be able to be prepared and help people with minor injuries such as sprains or even brakes and give them a temporary bandage or splint out of the resources around, that will help until medical services get to the scene.

I believe the CERT program and training students is very beneficial because it certain situations there isn't enough man power to help everyone so this gives firefighters and police officers more resources to help with minor injuries while they focus on the more critical and major injuries. I think they also should've demonstrated how to check for broken bones and be able to tell the difference between the two.
