Welcome New CERT Members!
On June 12, DC CERT inducted a new cohort of members. Twenty-one members joined
us for an exciting in-person skills training workshop and participated in
various disaster simulations. Members received training in emergency
response topics such as light search and rescue, disaster medical
operations, and First Aid and CPR. Members will use these skills to help
their fellow community members when disaster strikes. We are happy to
welcome our new DC CERT members and we are excited to see the wonderful
work they will do!
If you are interested in joining CERT or know someone who is, follow this

[image: CPR] *What is CERT?*
Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) is free and open to anyone who
lives, works or congregates in the District of Columbia. When emergencies
happen, CERT members can provide critical support to first responders,
immediate assistance to survivors and can help organize spontaneous
volunteers at a disaster site. CERT members can also help with
non-emergency projects that help improve community safety.
Areas of training include (but aren't limited to):
- Disaster Preparedness
- Mass Causality Triage / Disaster Medical Operation
- Damage Assessment
- Light Search and Rescue
- First Aid, CPR, and AED
- Team Well-being and Disaster Psychology
- Terrorism Awareness
- Hazardous Material Awareness
------------------------------
Beat the Heat
As you begin to plan your summer activities and vacations, don’t forget to
plan for extreme heat. Extreme heat is a period of high heat and humidity
with temperatures above 90 degrees for at least two to three days. In
extreme heat your body works extra hard to maintain a normal temperature,
which can lead to death. In fact, extreme heat is responsible for the
highest number of annual deaths among all weather-related hazards.
When authorities monitor extreme heat conditions the term "heat index" is
used. This index measures the effects of heat and humidity. When heat and
humidity combine to reduce the amount of evaporation of sweat from the
body, outdoor exercise becomes dangerous even for those in good shape. In
the District, the Heat Emergency Plan is activated when the heat index
reaches 95 degrees.
*Cooling Centers: *Hot and humid conditions can cause medical problems such
as heat exhaustion and stroke. If you or someone you know needs
transportation to a cooling center, call the hyperthermia hotline at
202-399-7093.

[image: Therm] *Recognize and Respond*
Know the signs of heat-related illnesses and COVID-19 and ways to respond.
At-risk populations for both heat- related illness and COVID-19 include
older individuals and those with underlying health conditions. Know how to
protect individuals especially at risk from both extreme heat events and
COVID-19.
If you are sick and need medical attention, contact your healthcare
provider for advice and shelter in place, if you can. If you are
experiencing a medical emergency, call 9-1-1 and let the operator know if
you have, or think you might have, COVID-19. If you can, put on a mask
before help arrives. If you are at a shelter or public facility, alert
shelter staff right away so they can call a local hospital or clinic.
*Heat Cramps*
<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDgsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMTA3MzAuNDM5MjE1MDEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5yZWFkeS5nb3YvaGVhdCJ9.ChHHUeyU7kvG58qEPulI_1FH0egLBYqN_1UH2le28SI/s/556216542/br/110172416694-l>
*Signs: *Muscle pains or spasms in the stomach, arms or legs *Actions: *Go
to a cooler location. Remove excess clothing. Take sips of cool sports
drinks with salt and sugar. If you are sick and need medical attention,
call your healthcare provider first. Follow your healthcare provider’s
instructions about whether you should go to the hospital or cooler location
yourself, as you may be putting others or yourself in greater risk for
contracting COVID-19. If cramps last more than an hour, seek medical
attention. If possible, put on a mask before medical help arrives.

It’s Fireworks Safety month! Fourth of July Celebrations may be over, but
every year, about 10,000 people are treated for injuries in hospital
emergency departments due to the mishandling of live, misfired and waste
consumer fireworks1
<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMTA3MzAuNDM5MjE1MDEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy51c2ZhLmZlbWEuZ292L2Jsb2cvY2ItMDYwMzE5Lmh0bWwjZm9vdG5vdGVzIn0.2hYPhI2e_MEvSfKwo2R6huQKvdp0sqXYWJW4eyYe3gk/s/556216542/br/110172416694-l>.

*Guidance on Managing Fireworks*
Generally, the importation, distribution and storage of fireworks defined
as consumer fireworks are exempted from the provisions of the federal
explosives laws. However, because they contain pyrotechnic compositions
classed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as
explosive materials, the manufacture of consumer fireworks requires a
manufacturer’s license. In addition, pyrotechnic compositions used in the
manufacture of consumer fireworks must be stored in accordance with
regulations in 27 CFR Subpart K – Storage.
- The best way to stay safe from fireworks is to not use them. Instead,
attend a public fireworks display put on by professionals.
- Fireworks are dangerous to people and pets. Using them puts your
property at risk.
- Hand-held sparklers burn at 1,200 F. Remember, wood ignites at 356 F
and burns at 575 F.
In July 2017, the Environmental Protection Agency issued the memorandum Safe
Handling, Storage and Treatment of Waste Fireworks
<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMTcsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMTA3MzAuNDM5MjE1MDEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5lcGEuZ292L2h3cGVybWl0dGluZy9zYWZlLWhhbmRsaW5nLXN0b3JhZ2UtYW5kLXRyZWF0bWVudC13YXN0ZS1maXJld29ya3MifQ.sMMUzcLXLk3SfBqZNycPlC_TVYzhNhpHG-jhEZ0RTOk/s/556216542/br/110172416694-l>.
This memorandum provides information regarding the safe and legal handling,
storage and treatment of waste fireworks, and responds to recommendations
from the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board.
*Tips to dispose of fireworks: *
- After you’ve used the firework, soak them in water for at least 30
minutes to make sure they are fully extinguished.
- Then throw away in a non-flammable bag.
*Tips on how to store away fireworks: *
- For extra fireworks, place them in a cool, dry area.
- Do NOT place extra fireworks in a cardboard box or plastic bags.
- Do NOT place fireworks in a very hot area like a utility building, or
garage.
- Do NOT place fireworks in a very cold area

"During a health pandemic health workers have to balance two competing
objectives: their own welfare vs. that of their patients. Intuitively,
attending to sick patients during a pandemic poses risks to health workers
because some of these patients could be infected. One way to reduce risk is
by reducing contact with patients. These changes could be on the extensive
margin, e.g., seeing fewer patients; or, more insidiously, on the intensive
margin, by reducing the duration/intensity of contact. This paper studies
risk avoidance behavior during the Covid-19 [coronavirus disease 2019]
pandemic and examines implications for patient welfare. Using primary data
on thousands of patient-provider interactions between January 2019 and
October 2020 in Nigeria, I present evidence of risk compensation by health
workers along the intensive margin. For example, the probability that a
patient receives a physical examination has dropped by about a third. I
find suggestive evidence of negative effects on health outcomes."

*Volunteer Opportunities*
*DC CERT Exercise Evaluator Task Force*
*Description:*
Exercise is a broad term for any activity that helps emergency responders
plan for and practice their organizational response to an incident.
Evaluation is the act of observing and recording exercise activity or
conduct, assessing behaviors or activities against exercise objectives, and
noting strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, or other observations.
DC CERT is seeking volunteers to be part of the Exercise Evaluator Task
Force.
The Exercise Evaluator Task Force will lead the exercise, training, and
evaluation for the DC CERT Program and improve planning. It also provides
the foundation for exercise evaluation concepts and practices as identified
in the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program.
The Exercise Evaluator Task Force's goal is to improve the DC CERT training
and exercise preparedness to be consistent and standardize and
to effectively and systematically apply the exercise evaluation and
improvement planning process consistent with the state planning section.
*Prerequisite:*
