  • Emergency Preparedness Event!

    Join us in Los Paseos Park this Saturday, Nov. 8th at 10:00 am  – 1:00 pm to get information on personal emergency preparedness.  It’s not if, but when you will need the tools and equipment for an emergency, whether big or small.  This event will provide training opportunities and equipment purchases.  Find out about SJ CERT and meet the LPNA Board.  LPNA works closely with SJ CERT to make our neighborhood better prepared for any emergency.  This is an opportunity to learn more about LPNA too.

    SJNCERT works in conjunction with San Jose Office of Emergency Management to provide community outreach and training to volunteers in emergency response and disaster preparedness skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.

    For those unable to attend the meeting due to prior commitments, here is the video for your review. This was a hybrid meeting (both in-person and remote) held at the Santa Teresa Branch Library. Pardon the audio issues, some attendees and presenter forgot to speak into a mic or held the mic away from their mouths. Where possible, the audio was enhanced post processing so the conversation is sensical.
