Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) in Kirkland is seeking actors for disaster simulation drills.

CERT students, who will be graduating from an eight week CERT FEMA training course, must prove they know how to react in the event of a major disaster. The organization is in need of volunteers to be the “victims” of this disaster.

A professional make-up artist will create the wounds you might receive during an earthquake or other major disaster. The students will be there to rescue the actors. Its fun, educational and includes snacks and a pizza dinner.

The drill takes place Nov. 16 from 1-8 p.m. at Peter Kirk Community Center. Students age 14-16 may participate with a parent. Those 17-18 must have a parent/guardian signature.
