WHAT IS CERT? Local government prepares for local emergencies. However, during a disaster, the number and scope of incidents can overwhelm 911 emergency services. This valuable course is designed to help you protect yourself, your family, your neighbors, and your neighborhood in an emergency situation. CERT is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citizens may initially be on their own, and their actions can make a difference. While people will respond to others in need without the training, one goal of the CERT program is to help them do so effectively and efficiently without placing themselves in unnecessary danger. IN THE CERT TRAINING YOU WILL LEARN TO: - manage utilities and put out small fires,
- treat the three medical killers by opening airways, controlling bleeding, and treating for shock,
- provide basic medical aid,
- search for and rescue victims safely,
- organize themselves and spontaneous volunteers to be effective,
- and collect disaster intelligence to support first responder efforts.
HOW DO I JOIN? CERT members receive 17 1/2 hours (one day a week for seven weeks) of initial training, free of charge, to anyone 18 years or over. The 7 week course is followed by full-day biannual refresher drills. DATES Tuesdays 8/20, 8/27, 9/3, 9/10, 9/17, 9/24, 10/1 TIME 7:00 - 9:30 PM LOCATION Beth Jacob Congregation, Bayer Hall off the main lobby 9030 W.

 Pictured here is a home on the 1000 block of Alvira Street taken in 1934 shortly after it was built. The picture was found in the Digital Collection in the Library of the University of Southern California. The description of the picture details that it was a "Model Home" for the Broadway Department Store. If you have pictures of any of the original residences of South Carthay, why not share them.

Los Angeles County has implemented an emergency mass notification system that will be used to contact County residents and businesses via recorded phone messages, text messages or e-mail messages in case of emergency. The system, called Alert LA County, will be used by the County’s Emergency Operations Center to notify residents and businesses of emergencies or critical situations and provide information regarding necessary actions, such as evacuations. The system utilizes the telephone companies’ 911 database and is able to contact land-line telephone numbers, whether listed or unlisted. If the call is picked up by an answering machine, the system will leave a recorded message. If the number called is busy or does not answer, the system will redial the number in an attempt to deliver the message. The system is also TTY/TDD compatible. Because the Alert LA County system uses the 911 database, only land-line numbers are automatically included in the system. If you have a cellular or Voice over IP number and would like to be notified on that device, or if you would like an e-mail notification, you must register those telephone numbers and/or e-mail address. Because the Alert LA County system uses geomaping, each telephone number and/or e-mail address can only be associated with one street address in the system. Each telephone number and e-mail address registered will be contacted only when the street address it is associated with is impacted by a disaster or emergency. Here is the link to the Los Angeles County website needed to register. http://alert.lacounty.gov

In Los Angeles, our communities are ill-prepared for the destructive potential of the major earthquake that is now overdue. When it happens, police, fire and medical services will be unavailable to local communities for days following the earthquake and citizens will have to rely on their own supplies, knowledge and organization The NEIGHBORHOOD TEAM PROGRAM (NTP) coordinates L.A. Fire Dept. Trained CERT personnel working alongside their untrained neighbors into NETs, Neighborhood Emergency Teams. Each program is adaptable to the needs, resources and interests of each community, thereby improving preparedness and response at the neighborhood level. Volunteer teams living within a 3-5 block radius, are led by CERT trained personnel from the area and are instructed in personal, family and limited group preparedness techniques. These include search and report, light search and rescue, damage assessment, communications and field level medical treatment. Participation in your NTP, will help ensure your family's safety, as well as yourself. You will learn the basics of emergency services protocols. You will learn about your neighbor's strengths and weaknesses. You will be be prepared in advance with supplies and contact information. To become a member of the South Carthay Neighborhood contact

If your car breaks down on the freeway and there is no Call Box in sight, you can use your cellphone to get non-emergency roadside assistance quickly and easily by calling 3-9-9. You can also use this to report obstacles or hazards in the road. Calls to 3-9-9 are connected to Call Box operators who can dispatch Metro Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) tow trucks to your location. If you are covered by AAA, the dispatcher can patch your call straight through to AAA. FSP help is free of charge, and is funded by an additional $1 on every Vehicle Licenses Fee in the State of California. In emergencies, you should still always call 9-1-1. |
