RE: Community Emergency Response Team training
It's about time, and welcome. I have been a CERT team member at UCSD since 2007, when it was first formed after a devastating fire. I have continued training, with the last one being a medical triage exercise.
Well, you work for the Govmt... and your team is work sponsored :)~ It took me almost 3 months to even make contact with the San Bernardino City CERT program, and I'm fairly resourceful. One couple in my class has been trying to connect with the city CERT program for over 6 months, and finally gave up and contacted the county... San Bernardino City is still trying to hire a new Emergency Manager, so hopefully the program will get active again. I guess it was fairly active before the bankruptcy, but it was run under the Fire Department, which was dissolved (we now fall under county fire). The Police Department has picked up the CERT program, but the transition has been rough.
Too bad they didn't disband the San Burnaghetto PD instead of the fire dept...
I have no complaints about the PD...
Oh, maybe its the SBDO sheriff that has such a terrible reputation...
IDK, but Riverside, for sure...
My beloved, the crisis actor lol!
