After over six months of having taken the CERT class I’m taking this quiz from memory. We’ll see which of the following questions I answered correctly.
You’re having a business lunch downtown when you hear a loud explosion. You follow others outside to find what is behind the noise. In the distance you can see heavy smoke rising from the electrical plant, the very same at the plant used to power your town and several major cities in the area and you saw on the news last night cited as a potential target for recently uncovered terrorist plot. All around you, people are speculating that the plot was successful.
Locate your family and evacuate to safety.
You remember from a news report that the potential plot was uncovered when an electrical plant security guard noticed the same black van parking outside for over a week. Worried that someone is watching the building, he alerted some local authorities.
Surveillance
A friend over to you, a little frantic, and ask why you are not headed to the disaster site help. After all, he says you are trained CERT member.
“You’re right. I am a certain member, but CERT members must not respond to a potential terrorist incident.”
These are some notes from a lecture I attended at an emergency / BofM conference. I did not catch the name of the presenter but he has written at least one book and produced DVDs. He’s associated with the website below. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.
Blood moons are important as Christians have been taught to seek out the signs of the heavens to announce that the second coming of Christ is nearing.

It looks like Microsoft word may have it wrong when it complains about reflective pronouns. . It always complains when I use himself when referencing a he in the same sentence. An example: He stood at the lake, looking down at himself.
Here are some sources talking about reflective pronouns and then the final link, other’s issues with Word and reflexive pronouns.

After over six months of having taken the CERT class I’m taking this quiz from memory. I know one of my answers is wrong already. I don’t know how many I have correct. I need to review the chapters to see what I remember accurately. See if you can remember the correct answers.
You and your fellow CERT members arrive at a neighboring community following a devastating tornado. Survivors have been sifting through degrees and have found six bodies. They tell you about what it was like to find the bodies. One of your fellow CERT members starts feeling nauseated. He is obviously overwhelmed.
1.Which of the following is not an example of a psychological symptom of trauma?
Hyperactivity
Some of the survivors you rescue exhibit signs of trauma, and you warn your team ahead of time that they should expect some of the psychological effects will be directed toward them. In order to help your team better understand what the survivors are going through, you’ve also explain the four phases of a crisis following a disaster.
During which phase do survivors attempt to assess the damage and locate other survivors?
2. Impact phase.
The goal of an on scene psychological intervention by CERT members is to stabilize the incident scene by stabilizing individuals. You come across a man who is in shock and bleeding from his chest.
3.What should you do?
Address the man’s medical needs.
In order to help your team cope with the trauma experienced during the search and rescue, you invite a mental health professional trained in critical incident stress management to conduct a voluntary critical incident stress debriefing two days later.
4.What is the first step of the critical in Incident stress debriefing?
Sharing initial thoughts and feelings.
5. Which of the following is not a step that your team members should take in the future to personally reduce stress?

I can’t think of any better mnemonic at the moment. I’ll add one to the comment section of the blog if I come up with one.
Do you have a better idea? If so please feel free to give that suggestion in the comment section of this blog. Sometimes I just don’t feel very imaginative.
