Basic L.E.R.T. Training
To better manage volunteers and resources, FEMA has developed 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 LCMS disaster response training for Lutheran Early Response Teams (L.E.R.T.). 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 a team member for credentialing and will focus on the safety, work, and ministry of Lutherans as Early Responders.
L.E.R.T. training will also now be offered to youth, ages 14 – 17, so they can also assist in general disaster response safely and under the guidance of their own youth leadership. LCMS Disaster Response has developed new guidelines for youth participation. A parent must be present and sign a form for participation.
If you know someone who would be a good addition to your L.E.R.T. Team encourage them to register and attend. The registration cost for new L.E.R.T. volunteers will be $35.00 and as a refresher to update your ID the cost is only $15.00. We ask that you wear your LERT ID and bring your vest if you have attended before.
