What are YOU preparing for?Our beautiful community is located in one of the "best-known earthquake zones." Please take the time to review these telling editorials:
The Claremont GET READYinitiative (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 volunteer strong, we ask ALL of our neighbors to help make a difference by partnering, pitching in, and preparing.
