The City of Santa Cruz is sponsoring a City of Santa Cruz CERT Skills Exercise on June 2, 2018, 9am–1pm at the Emergency Operations Center in DeLaveaga Park.

Participant Information

This exercise is open to the City of Santa Cruz CERT team — those who live and/or work in the City of Santa Cruz. It is designed as a skill review opportunity as teams rotate through several stations and also respond to an emergency scenario. We are limited to 30 participants and registration will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis to qualified registrants. There is a priority registration deadline of May 18, 2018. After that date, remaining spaces may become available to CERT members from other community teams. All registration must be completed by May 25th.

This exercise will qualify for 4 hours of credit towards your Disaster Service Worker credential recertification.

If you do not live and/or work in the City of Santa Cruz and would like to participate in the exercise, we would be happy to put you on our waiting list and will let you know if any unclaimed spaces are available.

Please note that only registered participants or registered volunteers will be allowed on-site, for safety as well as operational need. Please do not bring guests to this skills session.
