Santa Rosa Valley is in Ventura County, CA. Over the past ten years Ventura County residents have survived wildfires, floods, mudslides, and earthquakes.
Ventura County Fire Department in coordination with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) have joined together to assist its' residents with disaster preparedness education and training. The Santa Rosa Valley Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a program that focuses on that preparedness.
Following a major disaster, when first responders who provide fire and medical services are not able to meet the demand for services, the local population will have to rely on each other for help in order to meet their immediate needs.
