Mira Mesa CERT Newsletter


Good morning, here is the News:

Team Meeting—Thursday, 9 August, 6-7pm, in the Senior Center.  Our primary topic will be the coming Fire Season.  We'll talk about CERT participation in a progressive disaster such as this.  Input from our veterans who have been through this before is appreciated, please let me know if you were there and would like to make a short presentation (no, you don't have to do the whole meeting, 5 minutes is fine).


Volunteer Opportunity—This is tomorrow (Thursday) morning, really sorry for the short notice, but sometimes it's like that.  One of our Rancho Penasquitos Members participates in a Summer Camp for children of the Employees of Scripps Green hospital.  They are doing a learning session for the children that covers Disaster Preparedness.  Emphasis will be on certain rescue carries (or drags I guess) that children can perform.  There will be 3-4 classes, 7-8 children each, ages about 8-13.  They are looking for a few good people to help out as Assistant Instructors.  If you want to do this, you'll need to be at Scripps Green Hospital tomorrow morning at 8am for orientation, the class ends at 11:00am.  Full CERT gear has been approved for this, and is encouraged but not required.  Really helpful if you remember your rescue carries and can demonstrate a few of them.  This is  late notice so they aren't really counting on us, but I don't think there is any way this won't be a REALLY good time, so I'm putting it out there.  Let me know THIS MORNING (Wednesday) if you want to do this, I will put you in touch with the Scripps people directly.


All for this week.  Not much for Battalion News today, I'll put it out before the end of the week if I get anything you can use.  Questions, comments, you know how to find me.
