OUR IMPACTBig ideas can start right here.
In the heart of Silicon Valley, a technology company was founded right here in East Palo Alto—and it is still here. Its name is rEMPAct, pronounced “Our Impact.”
Our community. Our stories. Our impact.
Preparedness you can practice—not just read about.
rEMPAct (Our Impact) is building interactive preparedness technology. Instead of only reading instructions, participants make decisions in realistic situations, learn from the results, and build confidence one mission at a time.
Explore an everyday emergency or disaster scenario.
Practice what you would do as the situation unfolds.
Review your choices and grow your readiness.
Born here. Shaped by our community. Built to reach further.
East Palo Alto and Belle Haven have been shaped by generations of families, neighbors, and people who have worked hard to make a life here. rEMPAct was founded by someone who grew up here, still lives here, and believes meaningful technology can come from our community—not only arrive from somewhere else.
Technology other communities can use.
We’re starting here, with the experiences and feedback of East Palo Alto and Belle Haven residents. Our goal is to build technology that serves our community well—and can eventually be used by other communities, too.
Built by rEMPAct. Made available locally through rEPAct.
rEMPAct (“Our Impact”) is the independent technology company. rEPAct—the Resilient East Palo Alto Community Team, formerly East Palo Alto CERT—is a separate local nonprofit using the platform at no charge to offer preparedness training to residents of East Palo Alto and Belle Haven.
One clear path: register with rEPAct, complete your account setup, and begin your training.

Not just founded here. Still here.
In the heart of Silicon Valley, our community has its own ideas, experience, and potential. rEMPAct is one example of what can begin right here. Watch the introduction to learn about the purpose and the technology.
