Community Partners

Community partners are organizations that assist residents in a community before, during and after a large-scale emergency or disaster.

Our Mill Valley Community Partners Include:

	Community Emergency Response Team – CERT	The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as basic first aid, fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises and simulations, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help.
	Marin Medical Reserve Corp	The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a national network of volunteers, organized locally to improve the health and safety of their communities. The MRC network comprises approximately 175,000 volunteers in roughly 850 community-based units located throughout the United States and its territories.
	American Red Cross	From Mount Tamalpais to Jack London Square to Half Moon Bay, the Bay Area Chapter provides relief to those impacted by disasters and empowers the community to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. A volunteer network of nearly 3,000 youths, adults and seniors combined with community partnerships, local government and donors allow the Red Cross to provide all lines of service within the Bay Area.
	Firesafe Marin	Marin residents need to prepare today for the coming wildfire season.  Follow FIRESafe MARIN for resources, tips, and tools to prepare your family and home for wildfire.
	Resilient Neighborhoods	Resilient Neighborhoods is an organization that works with small groups of residents in Marin County to teach over 5 sessions the basics of emergency preparedness and how we can all decrease our carbon footprint. Taking simple actions like trimming energy and waste, conserving water, and making smarter transportation choices can save money too.
