CERT is part of a nationwide program for disaster preparedness developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and California Service Corps.  Los
Altos PREPARE encourage everyone 
to take preparedness seriously in order to minimize loss of life and property in a disaster. Los Altos PREPARE was started by the Los Altos Community Foundation because a group of citizens realized that the Los Altos community could do more to be prepared for major disasters.



NOTE: This class is open to residents of Los Altos & surrounding communities.
