Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Committee

Mission Statement

The Mission of the Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Committee is to serve and safeguard our community through efficient and effective volunteer service, which helps protect life and property ensuring the best interest of our community. Spearheading our program is our CERT Program (Community Emergency Response Team), which is comprised of volunteer teams who are trained in basic safety and emergency preparedness. This community based program helps provide rapid and safe care for South Granada Hills residents in the event of a major incident or large scale disaster. When called upon, our CERT volunteers provide basic care, stabilization and information within our community until emergency responders can arrive on the scene, and upon request, will remain on scene to assist emergency responders as long as necessary. During non-emergency situations, our Committee focuses on public education and awareness to help increase the emergency preparedness of all residents in Granada Hills.

Goals: To assist residents and public agencies in time of emergency and to help the community prepare for an emergency.
