• 110 students from 14 schools statewide kicked off the first disaster response training program of its kind in Hawai'i, which took place October 9-11, 2023. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program is administered and supported nationally by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and is a national program of volunteers trained in disaster preparedness and emergency response. The first-ever Hawai'i program dedicated to youth CERT training will be led by multiple partners including the American Red Cross of Hawai'i, the University of Hawai'i Maui County Cooperative Extension, and the United States Navy. To create a Pono (balanced) training, the event also incorporated Hawaiian cultural principles, including the importance of balancing Kanaka (people), Kai/'Aina (land/ocean), and 'Uhane (our spirit). Hawai'i workforce development nonprofit ClimbHI organized the training with support from the Hawai'i Community Foundation Maui Strong Fund, Cornell Hotel Society, and over a dozen other partners with the goal of connecting student leaders from high schools across the state as they work to enhance the safety of their communities. All participants successfully completed the program, and students earned certificates from ClimbHI, the American Red Cross of Hawai'i and University of Hawai'i Maui County Cooperative Extension.Participants learned skills to help organize volunteers, assist in evacuations, give assistance to survivors, provide damage assessment information, provide shelter support, and assist with crowd control. Teen CERTs can also help in their schools year-round and participate in disaster drills and exercises, present fire safety education, assist in preparedness outreach, provide peer mentoring, and address safety issues in school. Students learned hands-only CPR and first aid, as well as how to put out small fires, conduct light search and rescue, assist those who are injured, set up medical treatment areas, assist emergency responders, identify and anticipate hazards, reduce fire hazards in the home and workplace, and help reduce survivor stress.
