EVAC Drill on July 31, Saturday, at 3:00PM

Dennis, KN6IPE All Messages By This Member #205 SAVE THE DATE:? 7/31/21! We will be conducting our 2nd drill for the year and it will be an Evacuation Drill (EVAC Drill). Before we are activated, a local alert would have already been issued using the Emergency Alert System.? That's when we turn our WTs on and get ready to be activated.? Wait for Net Control to issue an activation announcement and instructions. We will need to go door-to-door and tell our neighbors that we have to leave by a certain date and time because of a pending catastrophe. Of course, we will not knock on doors. Instead, we will be at the streets in front of homes for 3 mins at a time until we are done. For the most part, it should be a typical stroll along the neighborhood. ? The goal is to gather status reports of each household in Ocean Colony: evacuating/staying/no-response (E/S/N). Expect most of the residents to either be preparing to evacuate or have already evacuated.? The crucial information is WHO WILL BE STAYING.? We then report our data to CERT Rally Point and up to the DOC. WTs will be used to relay any problems encountered or progress reports.? ? Can we accomplish this mission? If so, how long will it actually take? Do we have enough volunteers to do this now? How are we going to handle sub-neighborhoods without CERT volunteers?? Let's find out together.? Let's get this done. BACKGROUND: The last evacuation effort when CERT was activated was during the Debris Flow Evacuation following the CZU Fire.? CERT volunteers knocked on every door and distributed/posted evacuation flyers to everyone in the area.? Here is an article covering the event: WHAT YOU WILL NEED: Make sure your WT is fully charged and ready. CERT ICS Form 214 was used.? All volunteers should have this form handy and document which addresses you have visited and the status of the residents (E/S/N).? The forms will be collected at the end of the Drill.? The form can be downloaded here: http://www.cert-la.com/downloads/forms/ICS-214.pdf Questions/comments/concerns are welcome and can be presented by replying to this thread. -- Dennis Tiu KN6IPE CERT Neighborhood Lead
J Stevens HURLBUT All Messages By This Member #206 开云体育 Hi Dennis? Thanks for the info. Just wondering if there was consideration given to holding the drill on a weekday evening?? Between travel, social activities, home/garden projects, etc., the weekends are a busy time.? I realize there are a lot of factors and we have diverse schedules in our group. And finding a time that works for everybody is a challenge.? Thank you for your consideration Thanks Steve Steve Hurlbut 720-560-3298 .
