Inciweb - Incident Information System
InciWeb is an interagency all-risk incident information management system. The system was developed with two primary missions:
1. Provide the public a single source of incident related information
2. Provide a standardized reporting tool for the Public Affairs community
A number of supporting systems automate the delivery of incident information to remote sources. This ensures that the information regarding active incidents is consistent, and the delivery is timely.

Certainly CERT Refresher Training - Sign-up!!!
Certainly CERT Refresher Training
Operation Certainly CERT, our first ever countywide CERT drill, will put 250 Ventura County CERT (including Ojai Valley CERT) members to the test in a full day series of exercises in each of the 4 CERT core competencies: fire suppression; search and rescue; simple triage; and rapid treatment. Several Ojai Valley CERT members have put a considerable amount of effort into the planning of this drill being held by Ventura County. I will be in charge of the "Cribbing & Lifting" exercise and am looking forward to seeing a great turnout.
Register *NOW* to reserve your place in this unprecedented event slated for Saturday, November 7, 2009, at the Ventura County Fire Department Headquarters Training Facility at the Camarillo Airport.
Pre-registration for the first 20 Ojai Valley CERT members is open *NOW* on the VCFD/CERT web page:
http://fire.countyofventura.org/certregistration/
Participation will be limited to the first 250 people. To help equalize regional participation, each of the 10 Ventura County CERT regions will be allowed time *NOW* to pre-register up to 20 local participants.
Once our alotted 20 Ojai Valley slots are filled, anyone else who wants to take part will be invited to apply again beginning August 31, when registration will be open to general CERT membership on a first- come- first- served basis to fill any remaining spaces.
Anyone wishing to volunteer can register at any time.
A liability waiver and photo release forms will accompany registration. Please print, sign, and bring them with you to check-in the morning of the event. Instructional handouts, schedule, and a map will also be available from the site soon.
For more information, call Alexander (389-9722) or Ramona Armijo (910-9585) of Ventura County CERT.
