The Claremont GET READY initiative (Some would say Emergency Preparedness) is NOT designed to alarm or upset anyone. Rather, we are a team of committed, volunteer-residents, that aim to inform, prepare, organize, and from time to time drill with the sole intent of helping our community survive a major disaster.  Over 80 volunteers, we ask ALL of our neighbors to help make a difference by partnering, pitching in, and preparing.

August Initiatives - Meet Your Emergency Teams

Meet Your Medical Team Leads -- they've been busy! Updating Medical Supplies, First Aid / CPR training, Facility First Aid Kit upgrades, soon to be released, updated Claremont First Aid Guide. Sign up for the 7 August First Aid/CPR Class-
contact YvonneFirst Aid/CPR August Class is being scheduled.

Meet Your Emergency Operation Center (EOC) Staff.    This team oversees ALL emergencies to include planning, reporting, communications, and running the show either during the exercise or in a REAL Emergency. They will provide our community with a direct link to City, County, and State Emergency Operations and are prepared to operate 7 x 24 with backup power. We are quite fortunate to be able to tap into our Golf Maintenance Resource for transportation needs, fuel, generators, and assorted tools.
