September 23-25, 2011: There were 75 in attendance at this years Disaster By The Bay, representing CERT teams from Sacramento, West Sacramento, Elk Grove/Galt, Monterey, Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach.

Day 1:

CERT teams arrived on scene (CERT City). A night search was conducted until 10pm

Day 2:

CERT teams responded to Del Monte Beach to search for victims of the mock tsunami. 16 people were rescued and triaged. There were several lessons learned from this scenario. Thank you to Monterey Department of Parks and Recreation for the use of the city beach and parking lot.

Teams were then dispatched to CERT City, where upon arrival, IC was established and teams were assembled (search and rescue, triage and animal rescue). A search dog was used to locate 2 victims and the rest of the victims were removed and taken to the triage area and treated by the CERT teams. All teams returned to the staging area for an after-action briefing where one injury was reported. Thank you to Waste Management, Tom's Portable Toilets, Sharon Dwight of Monterey CERT, CSUMB (California State University Monterey Bay) and Commander John Short.

This was a great experience for all who participated and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year.
