Tracy CERT

CERT,

The traffic control training for tomorrow night (May 27th,2015) has been canceled. We only had four people confirm their attendance. I spoke with Tracy PD and per their request we will attempt to provide the training once more after the summer months have past. Thanks.

Brian

CERT,

I have been approached by our San Joaquin County American Red Cross Disaster Action Team Coordinator. The Red Cross is currently searching to have people trained for a specialized DAT team. The team would respond to the Tracy and surrounding areas for victims of fire and or displacement type emergencies such as floods. Their program is already functioning nation wide and is currently functioning in the City of Stockton and Lodi but they have never been successful at establishing a team in Tracy. The training if interested in becoming part of this team would be held at fire admin and a later date and time to be announced. It is 4 hours long. By no means am I trying to send any of my great CERT volunteers in other directions, but I just wanted to pass this information along. If you are interested in this type of training and assignment then please send an email to the Disaster Action Team Coordinator below.

Thanks,

Brian

CERT,



Reminder that there is training tonight at Fire Station 91. The address is 1701 W. 11th St. Tracy CA, 95376. The training will be put on by San Joaquin County Health. The training is from 1730-1900 hours.



The training above is so you will know how to set up the mass vaccination trailer for a live drill/ flu shot clinic on the 29th at the Portuguese Hall from 0830-1500 hours.



The fire department is also conducting our annual live fire training next week on Oct 27th (0830-1500) Oct 29th (0830-1500), Oct 31st (0830-1500) and Nov 1st (0830-1200) at the Tracy Airport. If you are interested in providing/assisting in the CERT canteen service please email me at [email protected]

Thanks.

CERT,



Please save the date, October 29th (0830-1530 hours). We have been asked to provide our services setting up and tearing down the mass vaccination trailer for San Joaquin County Health Services that day. The trailer is stored year round at Station 91 on 11th street and fire department personnel that day will be relocating the trailer to and from the Portuguese Hall for the drill. This is a County wide drill so I am sure there will be more key players involved. It has been more than two years since we have done a drill like this, so I have requested that we have some refresher training prior to the event. I will be sending the refresher date training date out to everyone when it gets confirmed. It will be soon....Thanks for your continued efforts in making our community a safer place to live, work, and play.
