Community Coordination and NBFD Public Information Officer Josh Leith will discuss family preparation tips and the upcoming fall CERT training, offered free to Newport Beach residents. This topic is important to CdMRA because our neighborhoods are close to wildland interface areas, such as Buck Gully, Newport Coast and more.
