CERT Helps in Hazardous Materials Drill



On June 18th, 2009, members of the Henderson County CERT Team participated in a joint drill simulating a hazardous materials incident with the Madison County Health Department and first responders from Madison and Henderson counties.

The drill was held at the old Tennessee Department of Transportation facility located in Jackson, TN and a second drill the same day at the Henderson County Farm Coop.

CERT members assisted in the drill by supporting the Incident Commander with documentation and the Madison County Health Department providing water and relief to first responders and volunteers during the extreme heat the day of the drills.

CERT participants included Ray Lipford, Alex Lipford, Shawn Mizen, Wesley Rushing and Scott Mizen.
