Waiting For Disaster With CERT

courtesy of Cal Fire

Recent heavy rains and winds reminded many of us of the need to be prepared for disasters of all kinds. 

It if for just such situations that many communities host Community Emergency Response Teams, or CERTs. 

Ashland started a CERT after a devastating flood in early 1997. 

We hear from Ashland team leaders about how the program works, and what team members do to prepare.
