Agenda Item 5.1
DATE: March 19, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, Director of Emergency Services
SUBJECT:
Approval of Dublin CERT Academy
Prepared by: Jordan Foss, Management Analyst II/EOC Coordinator
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Disaster Council will consider approving the Dublin Community Emergency Response
Team (CERT) Academy. Disaster Service Worker activities such as this require prior approval
by the City’s Disaster Council pursuant to 19 CA Code of Regs 2573.1(b)(2).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the 2024 Dublin CERT Academy.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City contracts for Fire Services with Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD). This
contract includes the costs for ACFD to provide disaster preparedness training and support,
which includes support for the City’s CERT Program.
DESCRIPTION:
In 2021, the City launched the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program. CERT
is a nationally supported initiative, organized by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA). Dublin’s CERT Program is coordinated through the Alameda County Fire Department
(ACFD), who manages CERT Academies. In 2021 and 2022, the City CERT Skills Trainings were
completed via a hybrid approach due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For this year’s program,
ACFD is returning to the traditional method of in-person classes for their academies.
Pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 19, Section 2573(b)(2), the accredited
disaster council (i.e., City Disaster Council) shall ensure disaster training is approved,
documented, and supervised, and shall ensure disaster training is commensurate with the
duties of the disaster service worker volunteer. CERT members are considered Disaster

Saturday, March 23, and Saturday, March 30. The Academy will be held at the Alameda
County Office of Emergency Services building. The proposed agenda for the training can be
found in Attachment 1. ACFD Emergency Preparedness Manager Lincoln Casimere will
oversee the training, with assistance from other ACFD Staff.
Next Steps
Following approval by the Disaster Council, ACFD will proceed with holding the 2024 Dublin
