During a regional disaster, such as a moderate to major earthquake, the city services we rely on and expect will be unavailable. The Fire Department will immediately be overwhelmed. 9-1-1 will ring busy, and hospitals will be filled beyond capacity. Chances are your cell phone won’t work, your power will be out, and your land line will be down.
The Neighborhood Team Program (NTP) combines the best parts of the LA City Fire Department’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training Program, the LA City Emergency Management Department’s Ready Your LA Neighborhood (RYLAN), and Neighborhood Watch.
The goal of the Neighborhood Team Program is to help you and your neighbors build your Neighborhood Emergency Response Team with a turn-key package of short, easy to follow, but comprehensive step-by-step guides that guide you through the process of creating the team, recruiting your neighbors, setting up initial Map Your Neighborhood training, and the plans to follow right after a disaster.
Additionally, we’ll put you in touch with your CERT Coordinators to guide you through the process, and set up trainings and drills.
