Redwood Shores Community Association (RSCA) is dedicated to ensuring that residents and businesses are prepared for emergencies that may arise in our area.
The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.
You can find out more about this program from the CERT website.
To help keep residents prepared and safe in the event of an emergency situation, CERT has provided RSCA with several helpful guides in home preparedness and safety planning. Familiarize yourself with all seven guides and take action in making yours a safe home.
