Fremont has an excellent CERT program, including amateur radio, search and rescue and suppplies stored in cargo containers deployed throughout the city. I'm happy to say I wrote the grant proposal which brought in the money to buy quite a bit of those supplies :).
The last time I had reason to notice, I found that San Jose had a pretty good OES program. Here's the website: http://www.sanjoseca.gov/emergencyServices/ They also have "San Jose Prepared!", which is, essentially, their CERT program. http://www.sanjoseca.gov/emergencyServices/sanjoseprepared/
One of the mantras of a major disaster: Don't expect outside help for 48 to 72 hours. Expect to be on your own, either as an individual or as a community. Plan accordingly.
