Welcome to Ojai Valley CERT

IMPORTANT UPDATE.....


THIS WEB-SITE HAS BEEN ARCHIVED.

PLEASE GO TO HTTP://OJAIVALLEYCERT.ORG

This blog provides information to those interested in CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) activities in The Ojai Valley, CA. CERT works in partnership with OVARC (Ojai Valley Amateur Radio Club) which provides Ham Radio Communications - http://www.ovarc.org/.

http://www.citizencorps.gov/cert is a good place to begin learning about CERT. The fact is, immediately after a major disaster, each of us will be on our own while Emergency Services Personnel (Fire, Hospital, Police, Hospitals, etc) figure out what happened and how to respond. CERT teaches valuable self-preservation skills and empowers each of us to be of service to ourselves, family, neighborhood and community. By integrating CERT with Ham Radio, citizens can effectively communicate actionable information from the field to the Emergency Operations Center -- help will be on the way sooner.

Please check out the CERT Calendar & Map at the bottom of this web-page and sign our Guestbook (top right of page).

Subscribing to this Blog using an RSS Reader

I created this blog because I wanted to:

-Avoid having to send an email out for each update
-Skip having to write a monthly newsletter
-Make it easier to point toward another's efforts on the web

It can be a challenge visiting each of your favorite web-sites to see if any new or newsworthy information has been posted.

I have the answer -- RSS (Really Simple Syndication) Readers. If all your favorite web-sites have RSS Feeders, which they typically do, then you just have one place to go to review all new postings.

An easy way to get started is to use Google Reader -- (www.google.com/reader)
