Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) in general want, and the Arlington CERT in particular wants, to use every person's abilities to the maximum extent possible. We do not have a separate course to accommodate blind (or low vision) community members.
We have had a number of persons with disabilities take ArlCERT training in the past, including those with low vision, hearing impairments, and physical mobility issues, and strength issues. We currently have 2 members who are legally blind, but who have some
limited ability to see. (One of them is one of the premier moulage artists in this area; a skill she learned initially as part of the CERT.)<br>
<br>
Can you help us learn how to adapt CERT Basic Training (CBT) and operations to maximize learning for our blind/low vision community members?
<br>
<br>
Note that although we train people who do not have to stay with their Neighborhood CERTs, ideally we hope to train and retain people who will be available in the event that we are activated. The range of possibilities for what we might be deployed is unlimited,
so the skill-set required for any given mobilization is also indeterminately large.<br>
<br>
Currently our classes are scheduled for no contact. We are planning in-person training for whenever we can do so, based on the situation with COVID-19, probably after November. We have CBT Class Online20-66 in September and Online20-67 (Spanish Language)
in November. We will have more classes probably in the March/April 2020 time frame.<br>
<br>
Attached is the current schedule.<o:p></o:p></p>
