CERT Area 4 Monthly radio test
CERT Area 4 Monthly radio test
El Cerrito / Kensington CERT areas conduct monthly radio tests. Here is the most recent schedule
First Wednesday of the Month (same day as the Community Warning System sirens are tested).
El Cerrito Area 4 (our area!) 6:45pm, FRS/GMRS Channel 2
Kensington Area 6: 6:30pm, FRS/ GMRS Channel 6
El Cerrito Area 9 (near Tassajara Park): 7pm, FRS/GMRS Channel 15
At the designated time, turn your radio on and tune to the appropriate channel. Your area coordinator or communications coordinator will start the test by announcing themselves and asking for people to "check in". Listen, wait for a break, and then push the button on your radio and announce yourself with your name and location. For example:
"This is Rob on Leviston Avenue checking in."
