Are the local Volunteers trained to handle all types of disasters?
A. Handle entirely- No. Stabilize until other resources arrive -Yes. There is no way we could be trained and equipped to handle all situations without assistance of specialized teams. With this in mind, we have members that are trained in hazardous material operations, extrication, water rescue and other areas that can apply these skills to stabilize situations until the specialized teams can respond.
