 When the Office of Disaster Preparedness Management (ODPM) held a nationwide disaster management exercise called Dark Wave 2014, The UWI St Augustine CERT team was there to support again, providing triage for ‘injured’ victims.
This particular exercise involved the Disaster Unit of the Tunapuna-Piarco Regional Corporation (TPRC) on March 26. Beginning at 11pm, it went on until 1am, and involved an overturned oil tanker on the southbound lane of the Uriah Butler Highway. It was an excellent opportunity for the UWI CERT team to practice what they had learnt in the CERT (Campus Emergency Response Training) programme 2013.
