Get Ready Ross Valley
Disaster professionals say the most important thing we can do is be prepared to survive for 72 hours in our homes. This first line of defense, called “Shelter in Place”, will save the most lives. To help you prepare, the Ross Valley Fire Department is offering a two-hour course to teach you what to do before, during and after a disaster.

CERT
In the event of a major disaster, professional emergency services may be overwhelmed and unavailable for long periods of time. With this in mind, the fire departments in Marin County have adopted a citizen-training program called Community Emergency Response Training (CERT). CERT is designed to provide hands-on training to become self-sufficient for at least 72 hours following a disaster. To learn more, go to: CERT Form |
