The Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) is designed for your local community. The CERT program is important for emergency situations where the city's first responders may be unable for whatever reason to respond. CERT members are trained in basic fire suppression, first aid, and other key topics that can help your neighborhood stay safe.

What Does a Search Dog do? In addition to the various land, sea, and air resources that are available, California Task Force One (CA-TF-1), managed for FEMA by the Los Angeles Fire Department, has several search dogs on its roster.

Let's see what these dogs do, and learn how they can help save YOU in the event of an earthquake or other disaster. Click Here. |
