Mira Mesa CERT Newsletter 11/2


Good morning, here is the News:


RED FLAG TODAY—More about this in Battalion News, please read it.


Team Meeting—Thursday 10 November 2011, 6:00pm—7:00pm.  At our rally point, the gazebo in Mira Mesa Community Park between the Recreation Center and Fire Station 38, on New Salem just East of Mira Mesa Blvd.  We have not been to the rally point for awhile.  I hope a lot of you newer members who have never been there can make it, you need to know where this is.  Although it has been awhile now, I still want to discuss the blackout and what you learned.  Also, please cull out two or three of the most interesting things you heard from friends/colleagues etc to share also (one friend told me "we pulled out six flashlights, one of them worked".  That's probably OK if you know where the one is, and can find batteries for the others).  I want to talk about our upcoming meetings also, seems like we are overdue for a wound-care review, and I have a few other ideas, the floor will be open, bring yours.


Scripps Ranch Drill 15 November—Our very good friends over in Scripps Ranch are cooking up a new idea for a drill, based largely on what we learned in NIMS-704 (good time to haul out your notes or whatever and look at them).  There are varying levels of participation, from calling in information from where ever you are, to stopping at  the Command Post just long enough to share your observations, to actually participating in the evaluation.  Be aware that they are working out some ideas, so there may be a few rough spots.  This is fresh stuff if you can, please block out a little time that night to support it.  We don't have much detail yet, I will share as soon as it is available.


That's all for this week.  Questions, comments, you know how to find me.

-Steve
