The Board of Supervisors’ presentation recognizing Contra Costa County Cities Citizen Corp CERT Committee (C-8) for their award from the State of California Office of Volunteers, Office of the Governor of California.
We’re joining other local CERT programs for our final Disaster Training Exercise at the Brentwood Community Center on Saturday, Oct. 26, starting at 7am. All CERT-trained volunteers are welcome to participate!
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.
