ILPSCS Unit 9 Test

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:
