Stabilize a heavy object that must be raised in order to extract a trapped survivor
"Cribbing" refers to a technique used to:
Heavy
Building damage: Partial or total collapse, tilting, obvious structural instability, building off its foundation; may have smoke or fire, hazardous material inside, gas leaks, rising or moving water
Light
Building damage: Superficial or cosmetic damage, superficial cracks or breaks in the wall surface, minor damage to the interior contents
Moderate
Building damage: Visible signs of damage, decorative work damaged or fallen, many visible cracks in the wall surface, major damage to interior content, building is on the foundation.

Limitations
During search and rescue operations, rescuers need to know their own mental and physical _____________.
Grid
During this type of search, people start at one end and proceed maintaining a straight line as possible across the search area:
An area where survivors may be trapped
In terms of search and rescue, a "void" refers to:
Gradually
Leveraging and cribbing should be done ________ for stability and to make the job easier
Lift an inch, crib an inch
Our motto for leveraging and cribbing is:
CERT members must never enter a building that is MODERATELY or HEAVILY damaged
Regarding search and rescue, which of the following is INCORRECT?
Box
The best way to form a stable cribb is by using uniform pieces to form a __________.
Rescue the greatest number of people in the shortest amount of time
The first goal of search and rescue is to maintain the safety of rescuers. The second goal is to:
Moving objects and debris to free survivors and create a safe rescue environment, Triage survivors by treating the three killers, and Removing survivors as quickly and safely as possible
The three primary functions of rescuers are:
Self-removal/assisted and Lifts/drags
The two basic types of victim removal are
Disorientation and Secondary collapse
The two most frequent causes of rescuer deaths are:
One person arm carry and Pack strap carry
These two carries should only be done on children:
Blanket carry
This carry requires four to six rescuers working together to ensure stability:
Log roll
This method should be used to move a survivor with a suspected cervical spine injury onto a blanket or backboard:
Grid
This type of outdoor search can be particularly useful after a tornado or hurricane:
Pancake
What is void A called?
Lean to
What is void B called?
V
What is void C called?
90
When leveraging, the fulcrum and pry tool must be perpendicular, or ________ degrees to the edge of the object being lifted
Knees
When lifting objects you should only lift with your:
CERT ID
When searching a building what do you write in quadrant A?
Date, time in, and time out
When searching a building what do you write in quadrant B?
Areas searched
When searching a building what do you write in quadrant C?
Victims, and their locations
When searching a building what do you write in quadrant D?
Call out to survivors
When you are searching in buildings and you enter a room you must first:
Triangulation
When you are searching, and a potential survivor's location is obscured, you should use this search method:
Opposite ends
You should never do this while leveraging and cribbing at the same time, because it could lead to instability of the debris:
