CERT is a program which provides free training for civilians to become Disaster Service Workers who may be called to assist in the event of a major emergency. Our training is conducted by firefighters and professionals from San Diego Fire-Rescue.

I volunteered to take extra training for Helio Ops and we conducted the live exercises yesterday with SDFR's Copter One. We learned how to marshall in the aircraft (arm-signalling from the ground to help land the helio), loading/unloading passengers, and how to prepare long lines (freight).

I had a blast! To my surprise, I was selected to be the CERT who marshalled in Copter One! (Gamma Phi Beta represent!!

) The news cameras arrived after my big moment; but they got a lot of shots of the various teams in action. News 8 has a link to the story and video on their website. In the video, several of the clips are of my group, Team Five! You can't really see me, but when they show people getting in and out of the helio, and a big guy in a bright orange shirt, that's us. There's a part where they show a line of people ducking and shuffling away from Copter One, I'm the last person in the line on the right.

Sorry to jump all in yalls board, but I've got MY CERT patch.

Though, I'm not technically a civilian doing this anymore. I've just had the patch for 2 years though. Haha. You ladies have a nice Sunday evening!

Starting with the new exec in January, I am going to be the MEVP/New Member Educator advisor for Epsilon Lambda!

I am soooo excited to get involved with the chapter again! I was AVP and PD as an undergrad, so it's exciting to get involved in a different aspect of exec.

Yes, we had 4 at our event. Two were sisters at Gamma and hadn't seen each other in about 30 years.
