Culvercitycerteam

Culvercitycerteam The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program was started by the Culver City Fire Department in November 1997. The Relay For Life Cancer Walk.

The CERT Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event

when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community. The Culver City Community Emergency Response Team is an active part of the Culver City’s Emergency Response Plan. Along with maintaining the skills necessary to assist our community in times of need, Culver City CERT proudly volunteers at the following events in an effort to support our community and raise awareness of our Mission. Earth Day at the Eco Station. First Aid / CERT Information Booth at the Fiesta La Ballona. First Aid at the Los Angeles Veteran’s Cemetery on Memorial Day Weekend. CERT Members regularly participate in the following events/drills. Fire Department’s City Wide Disaster Drill. Training Class Final Drills. Assisting with coordinating District and NERT activities. Coordinating the Rehab and Response Teams for the Culver City Fire Department. CERT Members also comprise the Culver City Amateur Radio Emergency Service group (CCARES), which maintains all HAM Radios in the CERT Vehicles and City Emergency Operations Center. These members are both CERT Trained and hold FCC licenses for operating Amateur radio. CCARES/CERT Members operate Emergency Communication (E-COMM) during Drills and Emergencies in the City.

Advisory: Dangerous Heat Affecting the City of Los Angeles

Los Angeles is expecting a multi-day period of extreme heat from Thursday at 11am through at least Saturday. Temperatures could reach up to 107 degrees in the San Fernando Valley and up to 95 in downtown Los Angeles and the LA basin.

This heat wave will also impact and worsen air quality, and smog will reach unsafe levels in many parts of the City. Since these extremely high temperatures and bad air quality will continue for many days in a row, it’s very important to be proactive and make sure you and your community have a plan to stay safe during extreme heat.

Use our PUBLIC COOL SPACES:

Keep cool by resting in shady areas or buildings with air conditioning and drinking plenty of water.

You may call 311 to find the cooling centers near you, or visit the Cool Spots Map and/or the link: https://www.climate4la.org/CoolSpotsLA

HELP YOUR COMMUNITY PREPARE:

Check on relatives and neighbors, especially if they have pre-existing health conditions or are sensitive to heat. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. Additional information about staying safe during extreme heat, and other cooling resources can be found at Emergency.LACity.gov/Heat.

IF YOU MUST BE OUTSIDE:

Take extra precautions if you work, exercise, or otherwise spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening, or until this period of extreme heat is over. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends frequent rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned environments and staying hydrated. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible. Employers must provide access to sufficient water.

Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency; anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location, and then immediately call 911. For non-emergency heat-related information call 311.

Se espera que Los Ángeles experimente un período de calor extremo de varios días desde el jueves a las 11 a. m. hasta al menos el sábado. Las temperaturas podrían alcanzar los 42 °C en el Valle de San Fernando y hasta 35 °C en el centro de Los Ángeles y la cuenca del río Los Ángeles.

Esta ola de calor también afectará y empeorará la calidad del aire, y el smog alcanzará niveles peligrosos en muchas partes de la ciudad. Dado que estas temperaturas extremadamente altas y la mala calidad del aire continuarán durante varios días seguidos, es fundamental ser proactivo y asegurarse de que usted y su comunidad cuenten con un plan para mantenerse seguros durante el calor extremo.

Para reducir el riesgo durante el trabajo al aire libre, la Administración de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional recomienda descansos frecuentes en entornos con sombra o aire acondicionado, y mantenerse hidratado. Use ropa ligera y holgada siempre que sea posible. Los empleadores deben proporcionar acceso a suficiente agua.
