Living HealthyThe BRADD Citizen Corps Council’s mission is to educate the public on being prepared for disasters. They accomplish this in many ways. They produce a quarterly newsletter (link to newsletter) with information on upcoming events, articles on preparing for certain disasters and information on past events. They also provide Community Emergency Response Team training that educates people about disaster preparedness and trains them in basic disaster response skills such as fire safety and suppression, light search and rescue, and basic first aid and disaster medical operations. These skills can be used to assist family, friends, neighbors and co-workers during and after a disaster. They also focus on a Disaster Theme each month. For December, they have chosen to focus on Winter Storm Awareness. As winter approaches, now is the time to get prepared. There are four steps to preparing for anything; Be Informed, Make a plan, Get a Kit, and Get involved.
