A Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, or CISD, is one type of intervention that may be helpful for a CERT.
CISD is one of several components of Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM). CISM is a short-term healing process that focuses on helping people deal with their trauma one incident at a time.
It is intended to lessen the chance of someone experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder and get them back to their daily lives as quickly as possible.
