In order to better manage volunteers and resources, FEMA is finalizing a guideline on credentialing volunteers for large-scale disasters. The federal guidelines indicate that volunteers responding to a disaster should be trained and certified. LCC is providing training for Lutheran Early Response Teams (LERT) throughout our district. Should a disaster strike these teams would be put on call and may be asked to deploy in 72 hours or less to the disaster site. This training will prepare team member for credentialing and will focus on the safety, work, and ministry of Lutherans as Early Responders. The next available training is being held Saturday, April 5 at St. John’s. Registration begins at 8:30a and includes a light breakfast and lunch. Each participant in the three-hour training receives official credentials, LERT manual, and LERT vest.
