Members of the Altadena CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) are hosting a meeting for the public on Sun., Aug. 19, from 4-6 PM at the Altadena Community Center, 730 E. Altadena Dr. The purpose is to help educate the public on disaster preparation, show them what CERT can do, and organizaing a Neighborhood Watch group.
But they're also looking for help inside and outside of CERT to make the meeting a success.
According to CERT team member C Jake Truman, they're looking for vendors (must supply own table and pop-up tent, no charge to participate); door prizes, donations of refreshments (or money for same), help with set-up and break-down, and at least 10 facilitators who are CERT-trained or sheriff volunteers.
