What does CERT course session 3 cover?

The correct focus of session 3 in the CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) course is medical operations. This session is critical because it trains participants on how to provide first aid and manage medical emergencies effectively in times of disaster. Participants learn about triaging victims, performing basic first aid, and understanding how to treat common injuries that may occur during a disaster scenario. This training prepares individuals to take immediate action to help the injured and manage health-related concerns when professional medical assistance may be delayed or unavailable.

While disaster preparedness, fire suppression, and light search and rescue operations are important components of the overall CERT curriculum, they are typically covered in other sessions. Understanding medical operations equips CERT members with essential skills to save lives and alleviate suffering during emergencies.
