Mira Mesa Team Newsletter

Good morning, here is the news:

Team Meeting—No Team Meeting this month, you have the option of attending the St. Patrick's Day parade or going to another Team's meeting.

Please let me know if you plan to attend another Team's meeting, so I can let the Team Leader know.

Our next Mira Mesa meeting is 10 April, 6:00pm in the Senior Center. We will do an ICS exercise. My thinking on this is that there are two basic ways to scope the drill:

* Setting up a scratch ICS at our rally point immediately following a catastrophe. By that I mean "sudden" catastrophe which knocks out most of our standing response infrastructure. Our general goal will be to gather as much information as we can, process it, and produce it in such a way that we can cleanly hand our situation management off to County Emergency Operations when they get online.
*Integrating into the command system during a progressive emergency (such as a wildfire), or in the days following a catastrophe

Both of these use the same management structure (they are supposed to anyway). The difference is in the duties and participation of the individual. We won't be able to cover both of these, so I'm going to pick one or the other and try to develop something that all of us can participate in at some level. I welcome your thoughts.


All for this week, Battalion News follows. Stay Safe.
