"Neighbor's Helping Neighbors!" is the motto of this team founded in 1993. Our Mission Statement consists of two goals. First, is to train and maintain a team of volunteers able to respond to all types of disasters and other needs of its community. Second, is to educate the community to be prepared to handle disasters and other emergencies on their own.

Radio Communications 2. Traffic and Crowd Control 3. Hazardous Material Awareness 4. First Aid and CPR for the Professional Rescuer 5. Safety Assessment 6. Media and PIO Operations 7. Critical Incident Stress Debriefing 8. Incident Command System All training is provided through Thousand Oaks DART at no cost. CERT classes are held at least once a year and DART Core classes once a year.
