On Saturday March 6th, Sacramento CERT members attended the 2026 Flood and Swift Water Awareness class hosted by the Sacramento Fire Department. This class provides CERT members with critical information regarding hydraulics, logistics of rescue operations, proper PPE fitment, and shore based rescue operations including throw bags. A huge thank you to Sacramento Fire and to our members.
