4TH ANNUAL GRAYBURN SECOND SATURDAY OF SEPTEMBER AREA EXERCISE

3900 EDGEHILL DRIVE,Los Angeles CA 90008

10 September, 2022

Description

This is a full spectrum CERT/NTP exercise which takes place over six city blocks and covers 300 homes. CERT & NTP members from all over the city and neighboring areas will descend on this welcoming community to practice disaster assessment & incident response skills. The Grayburn area has worked with us to host this event for almost five years. That immediate community has 12 members who are CERT trained with more being trained in current classes. Members will be sent into the community to, first, assess damage in the first hours after a major event. For those situations which need a larger response, in absentia of professional responders, our members will attempt to handle…or not handle. Our training will determine what action(s) we take. Members of the LAFD, LAPD and other departments will be on hand and participating. You will be tossed into the fray of an actual exercise which will test you in all areas. Veteran CERT members will be acting as facilitators/storytellers to our teams in the field and those at the main staging area. In the video link below, you can see the story of 2021's exercise!
