Information:
While we strongly support CERT and encourage participation of our club members, membership in CERT is not required for CARP members to be involved with the Clovis emergency communications group.
CERT Training is designed to prepare you to help yourself, your family, and your neighbors in the event of a catastrophic disaster. Because emergency services personnel will not be able to help everyone immediately, you can make a difference by using the training to save lives and protect property.
This training covers basic skills that are important to know in a disaster when emergency services are not available. With training and practice and by working as a team, you will be able to do the greatest good for the greatest number after a disaster, while protecting yourself from becoming a victim.
The CERT program can provide an effective first-response capability. Acting as individuals first, then later as members of teams, trained CERT volunteers can fan out within their assigned areas, extinguishing small fires, turning off natural gas inlets to damaged homes, performing light search and rescue, and rendering basic medical treatment. Trained volunteers also offer an important potential workforce to service organizations in nonhazardous functions such as shelter support, crowd control, and evacuation.

Seventy years on, he still taps it out
ZL2PX – aka Mervyn Taylor – has made a good fist of it.
The 92-year-old amateur radio operator was back in Palmerston North at the weekend, celebrating more than 70 years on the morse key and microphone. He returned for the amateur radio operators’ annual symposium at Queen’s Birthday Weekend, and he’s believed to be the oldest operator in the country.
