Martinez CERT is not a group to sit still for long. We’re trying hard to engage our community in learning new things.

Basic Training

Our CERT Basic Emergency Preparedness Training is about 25 hours, and covers a lot of ground. We are excited to resume our Spring Basic Training classes in February 2022. Please register!

Disaster Communications

How will we keep it all together in case of an emergency or disaster? Communication is the key. Come learn how to use a commonly available FRS/GMRS radio to assist with response efforts.

Short Form Courses

We have several two hour classes via Zoom: Personal Emergency Preparedness, Earthquake Hazard Mitigation, and Wildfire Preparedness. They’re COVID-safe, and very empowering!

CERT Leadership

For those of us who are ready for the challenge of making this time better for ourselves and others, our leadership class might be just the thing for you. It’s coming up soon: January 15, 2022, so get registered for the Zoom info.

We are a Firewise Community

The California Public Utilities Commission worked with CAL FIRE and others to develop a Fire-Threat Map of California. The map shows places with a high risk of wildfires that could put people and property in danger. Additionally, PG&E has introduced an app that allows the public to report non-emergency safety concerns in high risks areas related to PG&E electrical equipment. Visit PG&E's Report It.
