Brecksville Home Days and Broadview Hts. Summerfest
Thank you to all who came out and helped us man the booths. Next year we will have to come up with some type of give-away or contest to get people to our booth. We had interest and some new members sign up, but would have loved more traffic. Thank you again to those who helped out and put their time in educating the residents of both cities about CERT.
MOCK Dispensing Drill May 2007
There was a MOCK dispensing drill at the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Middle School on Saturday May 12, 2007. More than 100 volunteers participated in the first "Drive Thru" dispensing drill in Cuyahoga County.
This very complex and well orchestrated drill simulated a possible procedure for dispensing antibiotics to the masses.
It is one of many potential methods that trained volunteers will use to help protect the citizens of their community.

Search and Rescue Drill - April 21, 2007
The Brecksville Broadview Heights CERT Team in Cooperation with the Brecksville Police Department, Brecksville Fire Department, Broadview Heights Fire Department and Cleveland Metroparks Ranger Department conducted a mock Search and Rescue drill in the Brecksville reservation of the Cleveland Metroparks.
Approximately 80 individuals from the above groups participated. The drill was directed and conducted by The Cleveland MetroParks Ranger Department.
This event consisted of an evening classroom session and a highly interactive outdoor search drill. The outdoor exercise began at approximately 9:00 am on Saturday April 21st. with a police dog demonstration, and lasted until about noon when the Brecksville Fire Department conducted a rescue drill by repelling into the gorge at route 82 and the park entrance.
The groups cooperated in multiple search exercises in the fields and woods of the Brecksville Reservation to learn the difficult skills of a proper search effort.
A great deal of knowledge and skill was transferred to the participants, and the weather was fantastic!
The CERT team expresses a great deal of thanks to all who participated and especially the extremely professional individuals from the Cleveland Metroparks Ranger Department.
Please stay tuned for future events and if you wish to participate please feel free to lend your skills by joining us on the Brecksville Broadview Heights CERT team.
