Ever thought to yourself, "I really want to get more prepared, but I can never find the time to take a whole course and they never happen near me." Well, CERT San Diego has a suggestion for you! We teamed up with several City of San Diego Library branches and are bringing this very important training to YOU! Scan the QR Code or visit mysdpl.org/CERTevents to see if we are training at a library branch near you AND sign-up to attend today. Please note advance registration is appreciated to ensure a safe learning environment for everyone.

We are running a little behind in our celebration of the return of National CERT Week! But we are going to do our best to catch up. Today (Tuesday) is "Testimonial Tuesday" where our volunteers post a short video answering the question "Why I CERT".
If any CERT San Diego team members want to post a video, please tag me so I can boost your post!

Preparedness is an act of love. ❤️ When you plan ahead, you’re protecting your kids, parents, pets, even your block. Do it for them, not just you. Find disaster preparedness tips for wildfires, earthquakes and more at listoscalifornia.org #NationalPreparednessMonth
