Dear Lucerne Valley Volunteer, 

High winds, mudslides, fires, quakes, it is alarmingly apparent that we need to stay ready for fire emergencies and other natural causes that threaten our community.

Will you join us in supporting a certified training system that will enable all new volunteers to step up to help when the call goes out?

The Community Emergency Response Team program, know as CERT, is active in Lucerne Valley. We invite your group or a volunteer representative from your group, or individual to take action by signing-up for CERT training.

This CERT program, as you may already know, has the potential to train and prepare volunteers to work with our county's fire and sheriff's departments as auxiliary assistants in time of need. The CERT program is nationally recognized and supported by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) the same division active in getting victims of Hurricane Katrina back on their feet.

We need concerned and determined volunteers to take action.

Sincerely,

Barbara LaGrange,
