Emergency Response Team(CERT) –  Are you ready?

Sixty-three people lost their lives during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and the devastation was felt throughout the City.

But that was not the BIG ONE! -
Don't let it be your "fault" that you are not prepared

The US Geological Survey predicts there is a 67% chance that the Bay Area will be struck by a major Earthquake within the next 30 years. When the BIG ONE hits, emergency services will be overwhelmed by the number of calls. It may be 72 hours or longer before help can arrive.

Can you survive?
The answer is YES you can, if you are prepared. The key to surviving any disaster is planning, ahead of time.

Be prepared...
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training program offers training in preparedness and team response. You will learn basic skills that are most commonly used in disasters.
