Hi All,

 

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

We are excited to announce our next upcoming City of San Jose Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Basic Training!  As you know, the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is a 20-hour all hazard training offered by the Office of Emergency (OEM) Department. The training is designed for residents to protect themselves, their family, their neighbors, and their neighborhood in an emergency situation.  During the training residents will learn: Disaster Preparedness, Fire Safety, Disaster Medical Operations and Triage, Light Search and Rescue, Team Organization, Disaster Psychology, Terrorism & the Incident Command.  Due to the pandemic, the CERT basic training is now being offered as a combination of online training and a one-day hands-on skills training. The online ZOOM training will be a bi-weekly class estimated to take 12-hours from July 5th – July 30th.

 

If you wouldn’t mind, please help us by sharing this link with your friends, family, and neighbors to help us continue to build a more resilient and empowered City of San Jose:

Paseos #2 Sign Posts update

Posted on by Alan Chan

For those wondering about the Paseos signposts project, Greg Peck and his team of volunteers are in the process of finishing them for Paseo #2 extending between Avenida Espana and Cheltenham Way. 

Many of you walking through the neighborhood may have seen the ones installed along Paseo #1 extending between the Tennis courts and Avenida Rotella. The signposts clearly demark the streets intersecting the Paseo. Paseo 2 will soon enjoy similar amenities.

For your enlightenment, Greg shared a video of the signposts undergoing a router inscribing each street name. Thanks for all the hard work to beautify the neighborhood!

Dear Neighbor,

This week’s Chat with Matt will feature a special guest: our new Southern Division Captain, Brian Matchett. I’m excited to introduce Captain Matchett and give him a little time to share his vision for public safety in our neighborhoods and take your safety-related questions.

Our team will also take a few minutes to address the recent concerns raised by residents regarding building electrification proposals in San Jose. In the meantime, you can learn more about city staff’s draft proposal and offer your public comment to help shape the debate at City Hall.
