Get Preparedness Certified

Get Ready Classes

The Get Ready class is one of the requirements for a We Are Ready certificate. You will be given a manual prepared especially for Belvedere and Tiburon residents. The 2-hour session teach you how to use and benefit from the manual. The class will be conducted by one of your neighbors or friends who has been trained to lead the session about getting households prepared for a regional disaster. 

The Get Ready Disaster Preparedness Program is designed to meet three important needs, making it as easy as possible for a household to become prepared for a disaster. These needs are:

1. Disaster Survival Knowledge: At the conclusion of the course, you will know what to do before, during, and after a regional disaster. Every attendee will receive a copy of the Disaster Preparedness Manual.
2. Emergency Equipment and Supplies: We will provide you with a shopping list so you can assemble an emergency supply kit or you can purchase a ready-made kit at the training session. 
3. Food and Water to Last Three Days: The size of this emergency reserve will be determined by the number of people in your household. We will provide you with a shopping list so you can assemble your own or you can purchase ready-made modules. 

Classes are free!
