Registration Open for Spring CERT Academy
Training starts April 3rd
During the first few hours and days after
a disaster strikes, emergency services
could be overwhelmed, leaving families,
neighborhoods and businesses on their
own for hours or days. The Community
Emergency Response Team (CERT)
program offers valuable insight into how
individuals can become better prepared
to sustain themselves, their families and
their communities immediately
following a disaster.
CERT educates people in the community about disaster preparedness
for hazards that may impact their area (e.g. earthquakes or fires) and
trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light
search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.
Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises,
CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace
following an event when professional responders are not immediately
available to help.
If you are interested in learning how to become better prepared for a
disaster, please join us for the upcoming Spring CERT Academy.

RC City Council: Tackling sea level rise, #1 climate change threat to Bay Area
By Rona Gundrum
The Redwood City City Council held a special meeting on February
3rd to review council’s goals and priorities of Housing, Transportation,
Children & Youth, and discuss if those should remain the goals and
priorities for the coming year.
This past January, the new “State of California Sea Level Rise
Guidance" report stated that sea level rise is the Bay Area’s number one
climate change threat. As sea levels increase, what is known as today’s
“king tide” will be every month’s “high tide.” The report also went into ultimate goal of the assessment is to develop sea level rise adaptation

CHS Project Elevate seeks to spread
financial literacy awareness to all
By Ritika Rawat
We are inviting the general public to attend Project Elevate’s virtual
Financial Literacy Workshops in March and April. Interested in
learning more about budgeting, investing, or empowering yourself
when it comes to your finances? Please sign up here: bit.ly/Fin-up.
As Carlmont students, we were sparked by the severe socio-economic
disparities in our community and the increasing number of residents
suffering from food and/or housing insecurity. Coming from an area
and school with a diverse student body, we learned that many have
different exposure to such vital topics. Additionally, looking at the
increasing cost of living in our community, we realized that one way
to address the issue is by promoting financial literacy and empowering
people with financial IQ.
Proactive financial literacy education serves not only as a critical
preventative measure for this problem, but also as a source of
empowerment and stability for a lifetime. For this reason, we are
bringing financial literacy education to middle and high school
students to arm them with the knowledge to guide them into a
confident future. We are also expanding our efforts by hosting financial
literacy workshops open to any community member who is interested
in learning more.
We have carried out a variety of events to kick-start this effort. For
instance, we visited middle and high schools throughout the county
and have so far effectively educated over 320 students from all over the
Bay Area on topics including income management, budgeting,
investing, taxes, credit/debit, and student loans/scholarships. In
addition to these classroom presentations, we are also holding virtual
workshops with 110+ participants, and we have expanded and obtained
a fairly substantial social media presence, with our TikTok account
having over 8,000 followers. Finally, we have worked to aid the
situation at hand by also volunteering through the VITA IRS program
(supported by the Carlmont Business Pathway) to prepare tax returns
at no cost for low-income members of our community.
Your support would not only acknowledge the importance of this cause
but also encourage the spread of our education and impact.
