Problem 2: Inaccessibility of the Port Complex include the equipment identified above, but would be individually packaged in small duffle bags or backpacks that each worker could bring to the job site. Strengths: If CERT-trained port workers each have basic first aid and rescue equipment on hand, they will have easy access during a terrorist event. Drawbacks: Workers may lose their kits or forget to bring them to work. In that case, accessibility would be impaired and costs would increase when workers replaced their lost kits. RECOMMENDATION ¸ The interagency CERT Joint Training Team should provide each CERT-trained port worker with a small equipment kit. As a CERT graduate, each port worker should be presented a tool kit containing first aid provisions, leather gloves, goggles, a flashlight, a helmet, a simple respirator or mask, and water, all of which should fit into a small backpack. Workers should then be asked to bring their kits to their daily workstations. If they lose their kit, they should be able to purchase another one at cost. 54 Department of Policy Studies, UCLA School of Public Policy and Social Research
Summary of Recommendations Problem 2: Inaccessibility of the Port Complex 1) The Los Angeles County CERT Advisory Committee should provide CERT training to prepare workers at the port complex to respond to an attack. 2) The CERT Advisory Committee should prioritize high-risk populations, allocate CERT classes first to these high-priority groups, and set target percentages of volunteers to be trained within these populations. 3) The CERT Advisory Committee should coordinate the creation of an interagency CERT Joint Training Team for the port complex. 4) The CERT Advisory Committee should pursue both federal grants and private sector donations as funding alternatives for the interagency CERT Joint Training Team. 5) The interagency CERT Joint Training Team should provide each CERT-trained port worker a small equipment kit.
