AMERICORPS A.L.E.R.T. Program
AmeriCorps is a National Program that provides an educational award of up to $1,250 to members that commit one year of their time to community service.
The ALERT program (AmeriCorps Local Emergency Response Teams) at San Jose City College is an AmeriCorps program that focuses on helping families and the community become emergency prepared. The activities that we do include,
- Delivering presentations to children and their families,
- Encouraging them to fill out a Family Disaster Plan,
- Handing out “The File of Life” emergency medical cards to people from vulnerable populations,
- Increasing the capacity of mainstream disaster preparedness agencies to provide disaster preparedness services to special populations from community and faith based organizations that serve those special populations,
- Recruiting volunteers from special populations who are members of local clubs, associations, or small community or faith based organizations to provide 40 or more hours of volunteer service that will increase safety, disaster, and emergency preparedness in neighborhoods and communities with a high incidence of special populations.
