LISTOS

LISTOS (www.cfalistos.org) is a state-wide grassroots disaster preparedness program that can be tailored to meet the individual needs of Spanish and Mandarin-speaking communities, as well as English-speaking seniors.  Family-oriented and conversational, the program is delivered in a format that is both culturally and linguistically appropriate for Coastside residents. This class focuses on how to protect yourself and your family in a disaster or emergency. Topics include Identifying Risks & Dangers, Communication Plans, Evacuation Plans, Utility Interruptions, Fire Extinguisher Use, Disaster Kits, Victim Treatment, Home Organization & Emotional Support.  The 4 hour course is taught one session or two 2-hour sessions in person or via Zoom. Graduates receive a student manual, a completion certificate, and a  graduation gift of personal emergency preparedness supplies as long as supplies last. 

The most recent Coastside CERT LISTOS course was held for Chinese speakers at Senior Coastsiders on September 11 and 18, 2024.  

Future classes will be held when a neighborhood or organization self-organizes a minimum of 10 people who want to participate in the whole class. Please contact Coastside CERT at coastsidecert@gmail.com.  We will coordinate instructors and class locations, as appropriate.
