We are planning to do 2 CERT Basic Trainings every month for the remainder of our fiscal year ending on June 30th.  Our goal is to get as many folks as possible trained up and empowered.  Our focus this year will be to make sure everyone on our waitlist has had the opportunity to take it as well as a focus on other languages and vulnerable populations throughout San Jose.  If you have any ideas on how to reach as many folks as possible, we would love to hear them!

 

Big News! 

The Santa Clara County CERT Leadership Team (of which we are a part of) has planned a county-wide CERT Skills Day to help everyone keep their CERT skills current.  Please save the date — Saturday, January 21, 2023 — and sign up for the event!

SCC CERT Skills Day

Los Paseos Neighborhood Dumpster Day

When: 10/21, 8am-noon
Where: Los Paseos Elementary School

District 10 Office of Councilmember Arjun Batra is partnering with Los Paseos Neighborhood Association to sponsor a free neighborhood dumpster day. D10 office is providing the dumpsters and volunteer snacks/water and LPNA is providing the volunteers.

We are offering priority dumping opportunity before 8:00 to anyone who volunteers for 1 hour. We need volunteers to attend to each dumpster and directing traffic to available dumpsters. We also need some help with occasional heavy lifting. Residents will be responsible for unloading their items for the most part, but we need to have a few volunteers available to help with larger items.

If you are interested in volunteering for 1 hour on 10/21 between 8:00 – noon, please message us directly, or email vp@lospaseosneighbors.com

Upcoming CERT Training

Forwarded from the office of Chris Losavio, City of San Jose Office of Emergency Management

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:
