On November 16, 2019, from 09:00 – 12:00, Martinez CERT will be part of a county-wide exercise to test our radio communication links all the way from local CERT teams to the CoCo County Emergency Operations Center. This exercise will give all of us an opportunity to practice how we would organize in a major event and how well we can communicate up and down the chain. If you would like to participate, please contact one of the coordinators listed in this post.

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!

September is Emergency Preparedness Month. You know the earthquakes are shaking the rest of the world. It’s not a matter of IF a big one will shake up California, it’s a matter of when. Are you ready? Training is free, and is very empowering.
