Welcome to CORE

CORE is a free training program for individuals, neighborhood groups and community-based organizations in Oakland. The underlying premise is that a major disaster will overwhelm first responders leaving many citizens on their own for the first 72 hours or longer after the emergency.

CORE teaches self-reliance skills and helps neighborhoods establish response teams to take care of the neighborhood until professional emergency personnel arrive.

Benefits

• Develop self-confidence and peace of mind as you learn practical information and learn hands-on life-saving skills
• Build community as you develop and share your skills and resources to protect yourself, your family and home, and your neighborhood
• Create a lifeline between your family and neighbors, and the City’s emergency responders

CORE training will help you increase the safety and well-being of your family and neighborhood.
