Atascadero's Community Emergency Response Team will be leading a certified training course on disaster preparedness throughout August.
Over five days, the program will go over basic disaster preparedness, response and recovery skills that are important during disaster events like the Gifford Fire.

The final day will include a review and a disaster exercise. Both are required to receive the certification.
