CERT iPhone/iPad App Updated

CERT iPhone/iPad App Updated:
Most of you have heard me discuss how cool it is to have CERT materials in my iPhone, ready to refer to at any time.  The author of the CERT Guide has produced an update that takes advantage of the bigger screen of the iPad., fixed outdated links and some assorted bug fixes.  Be sure to download your update.
“This application is an essential resource for CERT members that may be used as a reference to refresh the training that they have completed. This application is also a critical field operations guide to support CERT members during actual disaster activations.”

“This reference contains quick guides for all topics covered with the Community Emergency Response Team curriculum, checklists, emergency procedures, the complete CERT course student manuals and vlsuals (slides), and access to emergency radio streams throughout the United States and internationally. With internet access on the IPhone or IPod Touch you can access Police, Fire, and EMT emergency radio traffic which can be used as an important utility following a major disaster.”

Mira Mesa CERT Newsletter

Greetings, here is the News: Marrow Drive—If you believe you are signed up to help this Saturday, and you did NOT get an email update from Carie yesterday afternoon, please notify me immediately. Those of you who did get it need to reply and indicate your shift preference. That's the only way to do it, if you sent email to Carie before you got the update, or sent it to me, it will not be recorded. Thanks, thanks THANKS again to everyone who was able to step up to this, I appreciate it. I'll be there all day, and look forward to seeing you there. As Carie said, it may very well be quite sunny that day, so sunscreen, and as always, while we will make every effort to have enough water, we are each in charge of our own personal hydration. Bring water. Team Meeting—Wednesday, 9 May. I think we may get an early official start, probably 5:30, although you will be starting the drill away from your eventual destination as I explained last week. I will work up and present full detail in next week's newsletter, but please understand that one of the main points of this drill is for each of us to get some practice communicating with FRS radios, and that we come out with some understanding of the limitations and strengths of these radios. I'm need to get an RSVP from you next week if you plan to be there, so I can assign call numbers and set up the initial mapping. Until next week, on this, if you don't have an FRS radio and want to join in, let me know right away, we can get spares but we need to know soon. All for this week, questions, comments, you know how to find me. -Steve
