title: Community Emergency Response Training.
abstract: My assessment of my Community Emergency Response Training experience is this: the training was excellent, and the experience was extremely valuable. That said, I would add that the one weakness that could be addressed in the program's design is the role of CERT teams in a biological attack by an infectious agent.
