Preparedness

We're preparing for the next event which isolates the canyon ( flood, fire ) or which causes us to evacuate the Canyon ( fire )

Neighborhood Coordinators

Using a 'divide and conquer' approach we've divided the Canyon into N separate communities, and looked for volunteers in each. These folks are called Preparedness/Neighborhood Coordinators.

Community Emergency Response Team: CERT

CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) volunteers are a group of community members who are ready respond as an auxiliary to the fire department in the event of a major disaster. CERT team members:

• Receive 20 hours of training delivered over 4 weekend days.
• Learn techniques in the areas of: first aid, light search and rescue, fire extinguisher use, medical triage, emergency communication and more.
• Participate in periodic drills/exercises on a volunteer-friendly schedule.
• Learn how to remain safe while helping others.
• Assist Fire and other Emergency response personnel in the event of a large-scale disaster.
