Pastor-Cohen was involved in the city's response in helping with the devastating fires in Santa Rosa. She will be speaking about overall disaster responses, the need and challenges faced by volunteers, the need for CERT training and how the Santa Rosa fire victims were helped.
She and CERT members will also likely be discussing what local measures need to be taken to avoid wildfires in the areas in and around Richmond.
The meeting runs from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Point Richmond Community Center on Washington Avenue.
The meeting is open to the public. But because of the limited seating CERT officials ask that people who want to attend RSVP via this website: CERT MEETING.

Thank you for getting the word out about this meeting. The first Thursday of each month, we have emergency-response professionals speak about preparing for disasters, and we're so glad there's so much interest about this topic.
We also need Point Richmond residents to get CERT training in the Spring. The more people trained to respond to emergencies here, the better we will also fare when disaster happens.
More info about CERT training and what we're doing (and our calendar of events) can be found at www.prcert.org
