Welcome to the Santa Rosa Valley CERT
and Neighborhood Watch Web Site!

Santa Rosa Valley Neighbors,

This site was designed specifically for Santa Rosa Valley, with all of our Emergency needs and interests in mind.

I created and am maintaining this site monthly so that we have a site that is readily available to help our area prepare for disaster should we need it. Remember, this site is absolutely FREE and was designed exclusively for you and our neighbors!

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.  

 


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 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.
