About Us
How We're Helping
We are a community-based organization focused on emergency and disaster preparedness education and building a community emergency response team (CERT) in the City of East Palo Alto and neighboring Belle Haven neighborhood (East Menlo Park). With the help of our tireless core team of everyday citizens, we organize and facilitate exciting community-building events, in-depth training sessions, and charitable collaborations that give back into our communities and the more vulnerable population. We operate through grants and donors who give us financial support that furthers our mission to build our communities in resiliency and preparedness before, during and after emergency disasters.
