San Geronimo Valley Emergency Readiness Group

San Geronimo Valley Emergency Readiness Group VERG is a volunteer disaster preparedness group for the communities of Lagunitas, Forest Knolls, San Geronimo, and Woodacre. Why Organize?

Visit our website to learn how we organize the Community and support neighbors helping neighbors. In the event of a major disaster, such as an earthquake, Marin’s first responders will likely be overwhelmed. VERG is working to have every neighborhood ready to care for residents who live within its borders until first responders arrive, which could take up to several days. VERG helps the community by:
• Organizing Neighborhood Networks
• Maintaining a robust radio network.
• Supporting Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) and other vital teams.
• Holding classes so residents know how to prepare and mitigate fire risk.
• Teaching residents about Home Hardening and Defensible space to mitigate risk and reduce vulnerability.
• Arranging support for Vulnerable residents
