CERT Emergency Trailers

The Los Angeles CERT Program has negotiated an agreement with National Disaster Preparedness to obtain CERT Emergency Trailers, but your participation, by shopping at Vons or Ralphs Markets, is necessary.

National Disaster Preparedness Agency has a program that will donate specialized trailers to Los Angeles CERT. The trailers will will be stocked with equipment and supplies. These trailers will then be pre-positioned throughout the city to provide you the equipment and supplies that you will need to do what you have been trained to do.

Vons Markets and Ralphs Markets are helping us stock the trailers. If you have a Vons or Ralphs card and you register at www.cert-la.com, 2% of the price of each purchase you make will be donated to the program. This is a significant donation and we hope all of you who are Vons or Ralphs customers will sign up for this program
