Cert Description
In April of 1996, the Presidio Fire Department established an Earthquake Preparedness program for the Presidio of San Francisco. The Presidio NERT training program was introduced at Living on Shaky Ground, a presentation by the American Red Cross and the GGNRA-Presidio Trust Disaster Planning and Preparedness Committee in October of 1999. The first class held on the Presidio was in February and March of 2000. Since then, the Presidio Fire Department has adopted the program and now offers the training as part of their Disaster Preparedness Program. Its goal is to help employees, residents, and tenants of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area to be self-sufficient in a major disaster situation by developing multi-functional teams, cross-trained in basic emergency skills. Through this program, individuals will learn hands-on disaster skills that will help them as members of an emergency response team and/or as leaders in directing untrained volunteers during an emergency. This will allow them to act independently or as an adjunct to assist trained personnel.
