CERT is a group of people organized as a neighborhood-based team that receives special training to enhance their ability to recognize, respond to, and recover from a major emergency or disaster situation. Teams are trained by professional responders in areas that will help them take care of themselves and others before, during and after a major emergency. As an organized team, individuals can provide vital services in the absence of and while waiting for the arrival of emergency responders, and they often assist once responders arrive.

Emergency Management comprises organized analysis, planning, decision making, and assignment of available resources to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from the effects of all hazards.

*Radiological & Nuclear** Although you cannot see or smell radiation, it can be detected using instruments specifically designed for that purpose. Experts use these instruments to monitor radiation in and around the North Anna and Surry power stations. Nuclear power stations are designed and built to prevent release of radiation. Should a nuclear incident occur, state health officials would monitor levels and advise the public about protective actions that may be needed. Emergency classifications There are four increasing levels of emergency warnings at nuclear power stations. Notification of Unusual Event: Lowest classification: a minor problem has been identified; no release of radioactive matter is expected; and there is no danger to the public. No special precautions are needed. Alert: A minor incident has occurred. Small amounts of radioactive matter could be released inside the station. There is no danger to the public, and no special precautions are needed. Site Area Emergency: A more serious incident has occurred, and it is possible that a small amount of radioactive matter could be released into the area immediately surrounding the station. Find a local radio or TV station that is broadcasting emergency information and listen for instructions. General Emergency: This is the most serious type of event. Radioactive matter could be released into the community. This level of emergency can pose a health risk to the public in the areas surrounding the power station, and state and local officials will take actions to protect the public. These protective actions may include an order to evacuate the area or shelter-in-place. If you are within ten miles of a nuclear power station, state officials will alert you via Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) message on your cellular phone, and call all publicly listed phones using the Virginia Public Notification System (VPNS). Turn to your local EAS radio or television stations to learn what actions you must take to protect yourself and your family. Refer to your annual Dominion Energy calendar for your local EAS radio and television stations and to learn more about emergency procedures specific to your area. **Get a Kit** Having an emergency supply kit is essential to making it through a disaster safely.
