New: CERT Informational Video
A new 17-minute educational film about the history of CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams) and their part in disaster preparation and response in Santa Cruz County is now available on our site, either by the scroll-down menu (under CERT/CERT Video), or by clicking the link here. Thanks to Ron Powell for producing this informative video, and to the many CERT team and fire service representatives that participated in it's making.
Thanks to many generous members of our community, the annual holiday toy drive exceeded expectations, and delivered over 6,000 items (including toys, bikes, clothing and accessories) to children in need this holiday season. We couldn't have done it without the help of such a giving community!
