YWCA Works with Venture Crew 7 on Emergency
Preparedness
Last fall the YWCA helped create an emergency preparedness
program for Venture Crew 7. It started with the Crew
members s being trained in CPR / First Aid/AED at the YWCA
of High Point. Their
second session included learning from the American Red Cross
on disaster response.
The third session was a visit to the City of High
Point Fire Department where the teens learned proper
response to fire emergencies.
The fourth session was conducted by Captain Margaret
Erga from High Point Police Department where various topics
on law enforcement were discussed including riots and crowd
control. The last
session was presented
by Mr. Amos Kearns (former US Coast Guard Commodore)
on Search and Rescue, where they learned various techniques
of collecting data on missing individuals and search
strategies. The Crew
participated in an emergency drill in January where they
were tested on their skills and knowledge. Congratulations
to these young ladies for their work!
