SIGN UP NOW!
The drill is open to all graduates of training programs based on Los Angeles City and/or Citizen Corps CERT courses.

LATEST INFORMATION:

Yes, we know it's St. Patrick's Day. What better time to wear green?

We'll be practicing shelter operations and animal first aid.

Bring your tent, your stove, your emergency food, your generator and your dog (with carrier and muzzle)

We'll be setting up tents, cooking dinner, and learning pet first aid.

CERT will be exercising and training their radio communication skills at the March 17th Night Drill. We recommend that everyone purchase or acquire a FRS/GMRS radio before attending the drill. If you don't already own a radio, we would like to discourage FRS-only radios. FRS is much shorter range and will be very crowded in any disaster. Find out more about FRS & GMRS.

These radios are inexpensive and available at all electronic, Radio Shack, COSTCO, general merchandise department stores, etc. ~~No license is required for the FRS radio channels. For GMRS there is an $80 (NO TEST) FCC license that is required to use the GMRS channels for non-emergency uses.~~ If possible, members are encouraged to acquire the FCC GMRS License. If you don't have an FRS or FRS/GMRS radio, this will be a excellent time to learn how we can use them.

Dress warm. We're having the drill rain or shine!

SO WE KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE THERE, PLEASE PRE-REGISTER BELOW!
