Find out how you and your neighbors can become members of the City of San Rafael's very capable Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).  Receive excellent training in such critical skills as light search-and-rescue, disaster preparation, and what to do in the first 72 hours after a disaster.

     The CERT course is offered by the San Rafael Fire Department at its Station 2 training facility, 210 Third Street, San Rafael.  Classes meet from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Tuesdays for seven weeks (with the 2008 spring session starting on May 6, 2008), and the fee is $60 per participant.  For additional information, call 458-5002 or send an e-mail to sanrafaelprepare@cityofsanrafael.org.

     To encourage participation, MARA helps subsize CERT training of our area residents (see map for neighborhood boundaries), and, upon proof of residency and evidence of completion of your CERT course, the association will "refund" you $30 toward your fee.  Just contact MARA at the above address to take advantage of this great opportunity. 

     To inquire about registering for a CERT training, call (415) 485-5002.
