Last night, members of Calistoga CERT had the opportunity to meet with members of Napa City CERT and the Napa Valley CERT Spanish Team for a collaborative training session focused on basic amateur (ham) radio operations and the setup of our ham radio go-kit.

Training together strengthens our communication capabilities, builds relationships between neighboring CERT teams, and helps ensure we’re better prepared to serve our communities during emergencies.

A sincere thank you to everyone who participated and shared their knowledge. We appreciate the teamwork and look forward to future training opportunities together!
