On October 17, 1989, San Francisco experienced an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9 on the Richter scale. The aftermath of such an event and its effect on San Francisco's residents led to specific action. The San Francisco Fire Department, prompted by the residents in the city, fo

rmed the Neighborhood Emergency Response Team Training Program, which currently provides training in disaster and emergency response. Since 1990 the NERT program has trained more than 24,700 San Francisco residents to be self-reliant in a major disaster. Purpose
The underlying premise is that a major disaster will overwhelm first responders leaving many citizens on their own for the first 72 hours or longer after the emergency. Our goal is to teach as many San Franciscan's as possible that, with basic training, they can make a difference in the lives of their families and others when, not if, they are affected by a disaster large or small.

NERT is excited to be partnering with for our Day @ DOT on July 18th.

Course Description:
Emergency Canteen & Disaster Feeding Operations is a 3‑hour, hands‑on CERT course module that introduces citizens to the fundamentals of providing safe, efficient food and hydration support during emergencies and disasters.

Participants learn how disaster canteens operate, basic food safety principles in austere conditions, volunteer roles and limitations, and how feeding operations integrate into the broader emergency response system.

The course emphasizes practical skills, situational awareness, and coordination with professional responders and nonprofit partners to support community resilience during incidents ranging from earthquakes and fires to extended power outages and neighborhood disruptions.
