CERT ACTIVITIES IN LOS ANGELES CERT-LA, Los Angeles CERT, California On Sunday, March 7, 2004, CERT members worked at the finish line of the Los Angeles Marathon. With a record of 24,532 runners taking part in the marathon, and with temperatures pushing into the 80s by midday, we had a lot to do. We helped many runners to the medical tent, kept watch for those who needed help, and worked to set up cots for the overflow from the medical tent.



On April 4, 2004, the BICEPP ERT Challenge for community teams was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Throughout the day, eight CERT teams (Snohomish County, Washington, and Burbank, Carson, Los Angeles - Green Hornets, Los Angeles - Palace Guards, San Juan Capistrano, Santa Clarita, and Simi Valley) trained and were tested on seven events.
