We had two members of the Red Cross speak to us about their services, and what we can do to be prepared for these unexpected situations.
We also had three American Medical Response (ambulance) professionals who discussed with us what we can do to help them, help us.
And we also had the Kauai Fire Department talk to us about their C.E.R.T. program (Community Emergency Response Training), which is a course they offer to train people to be able to respond and assist in helping our neighbors, and our community in the event of a disaster; in assessing damage, and rescuing trapped and injured people, until professional help can get to there.
We had approximately 45 people in attendance, many were non-members who were invited by their member neighbors.
Everyone participated, learned a lot, and many are looking forward now to various CERT, first aid, and other classes that we will be arranging shortly.
We finished the evening with a delicious dinner.
The whole night was very successful!
