Thanks again to City Manager Paul Buddenhagen for spending time with us on Feb 8th. Here is some follow up information:

• Community members can request disaster preparedness presentations in their neighborhoods by emailing oes@berkeleyca.gov OES or submitting our request form, which is available at BerkeleyCa.gov/CERT under "Other training opportunities"  
• For community members who prefer an online option, we have our Six Critical Steps to Disaster Preparedness class (virtual) -- Link to Register March 12 at 7pm 
• We have also created a lot of resources about household readiness steps for each hazard. You can find: 
• We have a Hazard map webpage with detailed, interactive maps for different hazards like fire, earthquake and flooding. 
• We also have a series of Hazard videos that walk through the steps that community members can take in their own lives to be ready for each hazard. 

• We want to be able to reach community members with information and instructions if there is an emergency that could harm them.  
• Everyone should sign up for AC Alert, which is a Countywide mass notification system, to get emergency alerts from Berkeley officials. By signing up you can help us reach you on your mobile phone and email.  
• We also recommend people who use smart phones download the Genasys Protect App. This system is the first place emergency responders will update if we have to do a large-scale evacuation. By signing up for the app, you can get immediately notified if an area you care about has an evacuation order or other emergency.
