RBCERTAA - Redondo Beach Community Emergency Response Team Alumni Association

Mission Statement

RBCERTAA is a non-profit organization created to organize and maintain the skill levels of CERT* graduates. We accomplish this by supporting and attending ongoing emergency response training. Members are encouraged to achieve a high level of preparedness and provide volunteer support to the Redondo Beach (CA) Fire Department when a major disaster strikes, or when activated by the RBFD in the event of an emergency.

* The COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM or CERT are members of the community trained by the Redondo Beach Fire Department to know what to do before, during and after an emergency. CERT alumni are better able to take care of themselves, their family and neighbors and can help the Redondo Beach Fire Department during major emergencies.

Although Fire and Police emergency service personnel are the best trained and equipped to handle disasters, they will not be able to help everyone in post disaster response and recovery. You can make the difference by using the training you will receive to save lives and protect property. By working with other trained volunteers you will do the greatest good for the greatest number of people while protecting yourself.
