Mira Mesa CERT Newsletter 4/2/13


Good morning, here is the News:

Team Meeting—Wednesday, 10 April, 6:00pm—7:00pm in the Mira Mesa Senior Center.  We'll work on ICS this next meeting, and push fire suppression/safety off until June.  This will be a general review of the ICS command structure, with a special emphasis on Logistics.  Logistics is at once often misunderstood and critically important to a large scale exercise such as a disaster response.  It is very likely that CERT would be involved with logistics in a major response, which is why we want to spend some time on this.  See you there.


Disaster ResourceOne of the Beach Team folk sourced this guide on Amazon.  It's a Kindle book entitled "Build the Ideal Bug Out Bag: The Ultimate Guide to Preparing a 72 Hour Survival Kit for Surviving Comfortably".  I think it might have been free to all last week, this week you have to pay $2.99 or have an Amazon Prime account (which I'm guessing some of you do).  If you don't have a Kindle and don't want to get one, you can get a free reader for your PC from Amazon here:

There are quite a few of these little publications available on Amazon, it's worth a look now and then

 

Volunteer Passes—At our last Leadership meeting Carie passed out some Volunteer passes for complimentary admission to many of the exhibits in Balboa Park.  They are good for the month of April.  There are some restrictions, but if you think you might use one of these to go to a Museum etc. drop Jen a note.  She has a few, and we can try to get more if there is real interest

 

That's all for the week.  Stay safe.
