CERT Activation
South Coast CERTS are asked to report at 9:30 am on Tuesday, Feb 26 to Pescadero High School to notify residents at approximately 500 addresses in rural areas around Pescadero of an evacuation order. This must be done before rains begin Tuesday night as there is a high danger of very hazardous debris flow and mudslides in areas affected by the CZU fires. CERTS should wear rain gear, rain boots, and masks to be COVID-safe. Those who have 4-wheel drive vehicles should bring them.

Please follow the instructions above and report to Pescadero High School at 9:30 tomorrow, 1/26, at 9:30 AM to be sworn in and be given a list of residences to notify. If you do decide to participate,?please text me at 310-429-9197 on your way to Pescadero and on the way home?for accountability purposes - Chief Cosgrave and I need to know who is joining this mission and ensure you have returned home safely afterward.?
