Organized by
The City of Eastvale is committed to ensuring the community is prepared to face any natural or man-made disaster. With the growing population in Southern California, potential damage from earthquakes, fires, floods, acts of terrorism, and other disasters increases drastically.
Protecting Eastvale is a top priority that requires collaboration between the community, elected and appointed officials, City staff and allied agencies. Through these partnerships we can strive for a prompt and effective response when an emergency or disaster arises.
CERT training increases community preparedness through training possible volunteers in safe and responsible disaster response and command structure basics. The City Emergency Management department is committed to providing City residents with consistent CERT training opportunities.
