Landfall CERT Volunteers on Halloween Night
Wearing "costumes" and their CERT apparel, these hearty souls were on the streets Halloween night assisting Landfall Security with traffic control to keep the trick or treaters safe. Be careful, Joel, you might put someone's eye out with that 'light sabre' (disguised as a flashlight!) |

Eleven Landfall CERT members sheltered in place during Hurricane Florence. They met with the COA management team for a pre-briefing, distributed first aid go-bags to members, received COA radios, and then they hunkered down.
During the storm, the COA team cleared trees to allow delivery of emergency oxygen to a resident, cleared main roads in case of an emergency, and kept LFCERT updated with radio checks three times a day. Meanwhile, CERT members checked on neighbors, helped when trees crashed through houses making sure residents were OK, contacted neighbors with medical issues, delivered food, checked homes that had been evacuated for damage, and generally tried to be of help. About 20 COA employees slept at the maintenance building for 4 – 5 days to make sure our community was served throughout the storm. LFCERT provided vests and cots to them, offered our generator, and later helped with food to serve them. CERT Refresher Class
