Scouts, Students Plan on Being 'Victims' in Alpharetta on Saturday

Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and drama students will become "victims" on Saturday morning to train Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members from several cities and Fulton County.

The public is invited to watch the CERT members take part in the multi-jurisdictional training drill starting at 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 15 at the Roswell-Alpharetta Public Safety training center at 11565 Maxwell Road, Alpharetta.

The CERTS members will show their lifesaving skills in disaster preparedness, victim assessment and triage, fire safety, first aid, extrication and rescue searches. CERTS members are your fellow citizens who volunteer on a regular basis to learn the essential skills necessary to help their community in time of need.

This drill will involve CERTS from , Atlanta, College Park, Fulton County and Sandy Springs. All of the victims will be moulaged (fake blood and injuries) to add to the realism.

Parking is available and a city bus will provide shuttle service. The shuttle parking will be on Maxwel Road, west of its intersection with Hembree Road. A police officer will be at the shuttle lot entrance.
