The great “Shake Out” took place on April 16th. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educated people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trained them in basic disaster response skills. There were many ways for the community to participate:
1. Listening to local radio or TV station for emergency news.
2. A “Drop, Cover, and Hold on” drill was conducted in individual homes or offices, as instructed on “Shake Out” websites.
3. After 10:15 am (or before leaving for work, but before 12 Noon), “green cards” or other “colored cards” were placed on front doors or windows.
· Green card – meant everything is OK.
· Yellow card – meant light injuries sustained (cuts/bruises, non-life threatening).
· Red card – meant life threatening injuries sustained; send help.
· Black card – meant loss of life.
In the event of an actual emergency, this would have let emergency personnel know the status of each
household.
