Neighborhood preparedness sessions
Small-group walkthroughs on household readiness, communication plans, and basic supply checklists.
Session dates, locations and handouts are posted here as each event is confirmed.
Community outreach
Neighbor-focused preparedness activities in Sacramento
We host practical, plain-language activities that help residents prepare households, share trusted safety information, and connect with official volunteer pathways. This is an education and referral effort, not an enforcement program.
Educational meetups
Open meetups for families, neighbors, and local groups with practical Q&A and take-home guidance.
Information sharing table
Community table resources covering observe-and-report basics, readiness checklists, and public safety links.
Referral to official volunteer opportunities
When residents want to volunteer, we point them to appropriate official programs and public application pages.
Ask the Old Sergeant
Coming soon: the Old Sergeant, CAP's fictional storyteller, an AI character based on the legend of a retired officer from Southern California. He'll share the CAP origin story, the history of citizen service, and answer common volunteer and chapter questions. He is an AI assistant, not a real person or officer, and he can't help in an emergency. Emergencies: call 911. A real CAP coordinator reviews every volunteer and chapter request.
Follow CAP

Chapter groups on Facebook and X Communities will be listed here once each chapter launches.
