Redondo Beach Community Emergency Response Team Alumni Association (RBCERTAA) is an all volunteer, non-profit organization created to organize and maintain the skill levels of CERT graduates. We accomplish this by supporting and attending ongoing emergency preparedness training. Members are encouraged to achieve a high level of preparedness and provide volunteer support to the Redondo Beach Fire Department in the event of a major emergency.

RBCERTAA works closely with the Redondo Beach Fire Department, Safety Commission, Citizen Corp Council and the Medical Reserve Corps to ensure the community is prepared for major emergencies.
