We were called out by the Martinez Police Department to help find a 10 year old boy who hadn’t checked in after school. Those of us who were available turned up to help find him.

We’ve heard it before: practice, practice, practice! When you don’t have time to think, your practice time will kick in and help keep you safe. Feel the shake? Drop, cover, and hold on!

A group of our CERT members got a walking tour of the facilities at our local Coroner’s Office. Our tour guide, Deputy Richards, answered all of the varied questions that we asked.

We were there! The recent National Night Out (NNO) events in Martinez were held at Les Schwab Tires and The Alhambra Valley Christmas Tree Farm, and in Pacheco at the Community Center.
