Trained volunteer emergency workers from Elk Grove, Galt and Sacramento are scheduled to leave Saturday for an earthquake response drill in Clovis. The Community Emergency Response Team members are from the Cosumnes, Sacramento Metropolitan and Sacramento fire departments. The CERT program provides basic training in disaster survival and rescue skills so adult volunteers can provide vital services during a disaster.
The team members are scheduled to leave from the Cosumnes' fire training facility in Elk Grove Saturday. The Clovis CERT team, which is new, had asked Sacramento-area teams to help conduct training classes during the the weekend drill. Sacramento-area team members are scheduled to return to Elk Grove Sunday.
