CERT - Community Emergency Response Team

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, allowing them to focus on more complex tasks.

Tuolumne County Fuels Reduction Storyboard

Tuolumne County is covered by multiple jurisdictions. Approximately 75% of lands are Federally managed; the Stanislaus National Forest accounts for over half of that area, covering more than 600,000 acres in Tuolumne County. Another approximately 360,000 acres fall under the State Responsibility Area. Like the rest of California, Tuolumne County is increasingly threatened by wildfire. A catastrophic wildfire has not occurred here since the Rim Fire in 2013 but as fuel load in the forests and on property throughout the county continues to accumulate, the risk increases. This storyboard provides a single source for displaying recently completed fuels reduction projects from many different federal, tribal, local, state and non-profit agencies. Information gathered and stored will allow all entities within Tuolumne County who do regular fuels reduction work, to collaborate and coordinate efforts such as grant applications.
