The community of Morongo Valley is forming an emergency response team. Reporter Mike Lipsitz tells residents how to sign up…
When it comes to major disasters, the question is not “if” but “when.” In Morongo Valley, some are planning for that eventuality by organizing a Community Emergency Response Team, or CERT. Spearheaded by Community Services District board member Gayl Swarat, the group is looking to recruit 10 volunteers from Morongo Valley. Volunteers must be willing to devote six evenings and one Saturday to be trained to respond to local emergencies or disasters. The group also hopes to establish a disaster supply pod in the community. If you are interested or want more information, call CSD General Manager Donna Munoz at 760-363-6454.
