After contacting CERT command or the EOC, you are told that no other personnel are available to assist and they suggest recruiting some volunteers to help. What sort of tasks do you think you can safely and easily transfer to a volunteer. What sort of tasks should not be transferred to a volunteer? Now we will begin CERT team roll calls, grouped by participating City CERT teams. We will take any late or missing members after roll call finishes.
