Emergency info on Web
Posted in The Oakland Tribune

An Oakland community disaster preparedness program has set up a new Web site to help the city's neighborhoods prepare for possible disaster, according to the Oakland Fire Department Office of Emergency Services.

If a major disaster took place, emergency response teams could be overwhelmed for up to 72 hours after the event, leaving many neighborhoods to fend for themselves.

The goal of CORE -- or Citizens of Oakland Respond to Emergencies -- is to ensure Oakland neighborhoods are organized and prepared to be self-reliant in the event of an emergency.

The new Web site provides tips on preparing for possible emergencies, as well as a schedule of CORE classes, class descriptions and lists of important emergency tools and equipment.

The Web site is www.oaklandnet.com/fire/core/index.html
