Lamorinda CERT

Lamorinda CERT - A community based disaster response team for the cities of Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda and the surrounding unincorporated areas in Contra Costa County, California. We train volunteer emergency responders and plan for emergency and disaster response including preparedness, search and rescue, small fire suppression and medical response.

To register for a class click here.

Classes may be cancelled if not enough students enroll. We will notify you by email one week before the class starts if we don't have enough students to warrant asking the volunteer instructors to give up their evenings.

CHANGE: To allow more time for exercise during the Medical Units, 3 and 4. These classes have been changed from being taught together on one night to being taught on consecutive weeks. This extends the class set to six nights plus a final drill.

Local Area CERT Class and Drill Schedule

Lamorinda CERT welcomes groups to set up custom classes. These can be for clubs, churches, homeowners associations, etc. All that we ask of a sponsoring organization is that they:   

  1. Guarantee at least 25 students
  2. Provide a room with a screen or a wall that we can project onto
  3. Provide a practice area where students can get on the floor to practice medical triage
  4. Provide a room that can be darkened and searched. This should be a room large enough that students will be able to feel their way around the perimeter and search with flashlights for victims. Furniture will be moved, chairs overturned, etc. to simulate an earthquake.  
  5. Provide a space in a parking lot for the Fire Safety demonstration / practice. This is an area at least the size of 4 parking spaces in each of 2 adjoining rows where we can locate the Bullex firepan (a propane powered open flame burner) and have students approach with fire extinguishers.
