Hello,
Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day weekend.
Now let's get back to business.
We have a few things planned for the summer and autumn.
May Hours -- Hours for May are due by the end of
business this Friday, May 31st. Thank you for those who have already turned
them in. If you volunteered for the Academy graduation, had a CE, or went to
this month's meeting, remember to report your hours.
Team Meeting -- Monday, June 10th, 6-7pm at the
Senior Center. But instead of the ICS review, we're switching to review Fire
Suppression and home fire safety instead. Very useful in this unstable hot/cold
weather we are currently experiencing. I will also try to borrow the fire
extinguishers from the CERT trailer so we can practice on how to operate them
on the grass outside.
New CE! -- Wednesday, July 17, 6-8pm at NTC Classroom
2. This will be a Search & Rescue and Cribbing CE, taught by our own SDFD
USAR team experts. Sign up now since good hands-on CEs like this get filled up
very fast.
Mira Mesa
Street Fair -- Saturday, September
21st. Remember to keep this date open. :)
The Great
California ShakeOut -- Saturday,
October 19th. We are planning a city-wide CERT activation exercise in
accordance with the Annual California ShakeOut. CERT program coordinator will
provide a pre-determined scenario and we will use our telephone tree to relay
info to all team members (just like a real CERT activation). After reaching the
rally point we will make contact with IC, and there will be designated drills
for each team to perform.
Due to the
size and scope of this exercise we need to have a strong show of interest to
participate to get the ball rolling. Please respond ASAP, but no later than
our meeting, June 10th, if you are most definitely/highly likely/or won't
be able to participate.
For any questions, comments, funny stories you want to
share, my Inbox is always open.
