Mira Mesa CERT Newsletter


Good morning, here is the news:

Team Meeting—The tenth is on a Saturday in December.  I am well aware that this month carries a variety of family commitments for many of us, a lot of which seems to be concentrated on the weekends.  I am open to ideas.  For now, please block out an hour in the morning on your calendar, let's say between 9 and 10.  I think we might finally get around to utilities shutoff, which I think I have been promising for about 6 months now.  To go with that, we will have  a very basic discussion about household electrical, and possibly gas.  I learned at the Haunt drill that some of us could use a little work on recognizing potentially dangerous situations that may be not be quite as obvious as a space heater sitting in a pool of water throwing sparks.  I promise to keep this discussion in simple terms that focus on staying safe.  More on this next week, and as I mentioned we may move the date to accommodate everyone's needs.


NIMS Certificates—I think about 25-30% of us have finished or are very close, and I know that most of you are committed to doing this and staying with us.  I sure hope so, we need every one of you.  Please tell me if you are having problems finishing the classes for any reason, let's see what we can work out.


That's all for this week, Battalion news follows sometime today.  Questions, comments, you know how to find me.
