Community Emergency Response Team training exercise

In the following news clip, Nathan is seen serving as a Search & Rescue Team lead in one of several Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training exercises.

CERT is a training program under the Citizen Corps umbrella that enables citizen volunteers to learn and practice skills in disaster preparedness, fire suppression, medical operations, search and rescue, and incident command. By training citizens in these skills, areas with CERT volunteers will be better prepared to handle widespread natural or man-made disasters, when first-responder resources would be stretched thin.

The Arapahoe County CERT program is sponsored by the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office

Other training exercises have simulated plane crashes, tornadoes, floods, and other mass-casualty incidents
