In the event of a major disaster, professional emergency services
may be overwhelmed and unavailable for long periods of time requiring
our town to depend heavily upon voluntary assistance. With
this in mind, the Marin County fire departments have adopted
a citizen training program Community Emergency Response Training
(C.E.R.T.)

CERT is designed to train citizens to care
for themselves and neighbors in the event of a disaster such
as an earthquake or a wildland fire. To find out more about CERT,
send email to Maria Baird (mbaird@townoffairfax.org),
Volunteers Resources Coordinator. Maria can also be reached
at (415) 456-5652.
Neighborhood Groups Forming!
The Fairfax Volunteers board wants to help you start a Neighborhood
Group in your area. We can assist with organization, promotion,
and connect you with others in your neighborhood that share
your concerns. Becoming involved
in the Neighborhood Groups Project is easy — simply let us know
your thoughts and interests by completing our
questionnaire.
