About this Event

CERT Medical Response Teams will need to respond after a disaster to provide basic and life-saving first-aid until professional responders can arrive.
What you do in the hours following a disaster will save lives.

But what does a Medical Response Team do?
What are the core components and roles?
Can you be a member of a team but not have first-aid training?
What does the role of Team Leader do and should I be one?

Join us on Wednesday, September 16th, 7pm-9pm Pacific Time and learn how to put together an efficient CERT Medical Response Team and how that team should respond when doing initial triage and treatment at the tarp.
This meeting will be hosted on Microsoft Teams. You must register on this Eventbrite and to be sent the link to join the Microsoft Teams.
Registration ends 15 minutes before the training begins.

Valley Disaster Preparedness Fair
2020-10-10 09:00 - 13:00
https://valleydisasterfair.com/
Top five reasons to get prepared NOW:

You live in Southern California.

You might save your own life or the life of a loved one (human or pet).

In a large disaster, emergency services will be overwhelmed and won’t be there to help you for days or perhaps weeks.

The first 60 minutes after a disaster are critical for survival. Do you have a plan to follow — or will you panic?

When disaster strikes, the time for preparation just ended. Do you have food, water, and first-aid supplies at home, in your car, and at the office? Don’t forget supplies for your pets! Prepare now!

Join us for this free live virtual event!

LA’s 99 Neighborhood Councils are the grassroots arm of the City of Los Angeles government. Elections for Neighborhood Councils across the City are happening on a series of 12 regional dates from now through June 2021. Board members serve their terms in office as volunteers and are elected by the members of the communities they serve.
At our Neighborhood Council Candidate Info Session, you’ll learn tips for:

running a successful campaign

connecting with voters

advocating for issues you’re passionate about

writing your personal statements

filling out your candidate application with the City Clerk

This virtual session will take place on Zoom. Details to join the session online or by phone will be shared in your RSVP confirmation email.
Anyone interested in running for a seat in the 2020/21 Neighborhood Council Elections is welcome to attend, no matter what Neighborhood Council you are running for. However, please note that Neighborhood Council elections happen regionally over a six-month cycle, so your candidate enrollment period may not yet be open (more details below.)
Each info session starts with a general overview of how NC Elections work, how to campaign successfully, and how to apply to run. After a short break, you’ll join breakout groups hosted by some of the Neighborhood Councils whose candidate applications are currently open, where you’ll have the opportunity to meet NC members and find out what it’s like to serve in your community.
If you’re new to Neighborhood Councils, the webinar will give you an overview and introduction; if you’re a current or former member of a Neighborhood Council board or committee, the tips we’ll share on successful outreach will help you in your upcoming elections campaign as well as in your current and future NC work.

LA Forward: Want to Run for Neighborhood Council?
2020-12-10 19:30 - 21:00
From LA Forward:
There are 99 Neighborhood Councils across the City of Los Angeles. They’re a unique way to learn about how local government works and to influence important policy decisions. Historically these official advisory bodies have been conservative and NIMBYish but we’re seeing progressives start to win seats and even gain majorities.
Elections are being held March through June of 2021 and the filing deadlines to become a candidate are coming up soon. We’re encouraging all progressive Angelenos to consider running for office in their own neighborhood. To help you decide whether to run and show you how to be effective, we’re hosting an info session this Thursday.

Neighborhood Resilience and Security After a Disaster
2020-12-16 19:00 - 21:00
After a major earthquake, city services will be unavailable for days, if not weeks.

We always talk about what happens hours after a disaster. This training will focus on what happens 5 to 7 to 14 days after a disaster.

Everyone should be prepared to survive on their own without markets or gas stations or restaurants during this time.

But we don’t exist in a vacuum.
We live in communities, in neighborhoods, in street blocks. By working with our neighbors and combining, trading, or bartering for resources, it’s easier for everyone to survive.

But time and time again, we hear people who are worried about letting their neighbors know what they have or are worried that their neighborhoods will become targets by those who didn’t prepare.

An active, prepared neighborhood will actually be less of a target than a single home that is prepared but isolated on their own.

Join us on Wednesday, December 16th, 7pm-9pm Pacific Time.

This training will be hosted on Microsoft Teams.

You will need to register on this Eventbrite to receive the invite to the Teams Meeting and instructions on how to join. Signups end 15 minutes before the training. We will be available an hour before the training to help test and make sure you get in.
If this is the first time you are using Microsoft Teams, please don’t wait until the last minute to test.
