The Santa Clarita Educated Communities United
in Response to Emergencies (S.E.C.U.R.E.) Program has been providing
free emergency preparedness training to thousands of residents
for approximately eight years. The goal of this free program is
to educate residents and businesses so they can be prepared through
the critical first 72 hours from when a disaster/emergency occurs.
The program has been effective in training families,
businesses, seniors and schools. S.E.C.U.R.E. volunteers reach
out to teach their neighbors, provide training to organizations,
and speak at schools about basic emergency preparedness skills.
With interest growing to learn about emergency preparedness in
the community, the S.E.C.U.R.E. Program has been expanded to reach
residents who speak Spanish as their primary language. Additionally,
the program now includes specific emergency preparedness information
for senior citizens and individuals with disabilities.

Program, please contact Donna Nuzzi, Emergency Services Supervisor,
