The California Emergency Response Corps (CERC) operates as a comprehensive statewide AmeriCorps initiative aimed at empowering Californians to improve their disaster preparedness and respond effectively to emergencies such as wildfires, floods, and earthquakes, as well as assisting food banks. This program is integral to a broader California Volunteers initiative focused on strengthening emergency preparedness in communities facing social isolation, economic challenges, language barriers, and food shortages.

  • Conduct surveys and other measurable activities to assess community needs.

Educational Outreach:

Members will spearhead presentations and outreach initiatives through canvassing and collaborations with local nonprofits, aiming for measurable improvements in community preparedness behaviors.

Disaster Assistance:

As necessary, members will deploy to disaster sites to provide essential support to organizations managing the response efforts. Deployments may occur on short notice and can last up to two weeks. Following each deployment, members and staff will debrief to discuss lessons learned and refine policies for future responses.

Qualifications:

  • Must be at least 18 years old.
  • U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent residency is required.
  • Local residency is necessary for daily service at nonprofit partner sites.
  • Two years of professional or volunteer experience in related fields, or a Bachelor's Degree.
  • Availability to serve evenings and weekends as needed.
  • Ability to deploy on short notice anywhere in California for disaster response for up to two weeks.
  • Basic proficiency in Microsoft Suite, Zoom, G Suite, and a willingness to learn new technologies.
  • Service is contingent upon passing background checks and health screenings.
  • A personal vehicle, valid California driver's license, and automobile insurance are required.
