Wherever you live, work, or go to school, it pays to be ready and prepared to deal with all types of natural and man-made disasters. Here in the greater Sacramento area, we are subject to fires, floods, severe storms, extreme heat, power outages, earthquakes, gas leaks, plane crashes, disease and/or flu pandemics, and a host of other possible situations. The potential for an act of terror adds yet another dimension to disaster awareness and preparedness.
Since we can only do our best to prevent man-made disasters and terrorism, and since we certainly can't control "mother-nature", it's only a matter of time before a minor or major incident occurs in or around the Rocklin area.
In an effort to better prepare our community for potential disasters, the Rocklin Police Department will be conducting Neighborhood Emergency Training (NET) classes. This two hour NET presentation will provide valuable information on topics such as:
Creating a family disaster plan
Assembling home and portable disaster supply kits
Sheltering in place
Evacuation procedures
Preparing for and responding to specific disasters
Being prepared reduces the fear and anxiety often associated with traumatic events, lessens the impact of disasters, helps people and their neighbors survive, and plays a major role in allowing police, fire, and medical personnel to focus on those who really need attention. Most importantly, it also reduces the need to seek out food, water, and other essential supplies when thousands of other people are trying to do the same thing.
The Rocklin Police Department NET instructors are trained by personnel from the Sacramento Regional Citizens Corps Council and the Sacramento Regional Office of Homeland Security. The Police Department will offer presentations at the Police Department, our neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and community groups.
Be Ready! Let us show you how.

Getting Ready - Videos
FEMA released a citizen preparedness DVD titled "Getting Ready For Disaster- One Family's Experience".
The video clips to the left (taken from the DVD) guide viewers through important steps of disaster preparedness and bring into focus issues such as drafting a family disaster plan, stockpiling food and water; helping children cope with disasters and preparedness for special populations such as the elderly and people with disabilities.
The story surrounds a 12 year-old boy, whose school assignment challenges him to learn about disasters and emergencies.
