Meetings/20190726

We finally reconvened at Wendy's for a mid-summer night's dream of a meeting.

Attendees: Ivan, Wendy, Catherine, Casey, Lisa, BillA, William, Christine, Mitchell, Michael, Cotton, Rob, ?

News:

October 5, 12, 19: Puente Grant Writing lessons/workshop $45 October 19: CERT/Ham radio 'simulated emergency test' with possible focus on Pescadero and surrounds. We are invited to play with our radios.

Discussion:

Bill A has taken updated maps to fire station and they are going to put them in the trucks! very good work Bill.

Siren protocol is old and wrong. A better one is in the Wiki. Wendy has done some edits, we should redistribute at the Annual Meeting. The central idea now is "turn on your radio, and NCs go to see what's happing at the siren point." It is not "EVERYONE GO TO THE POOL".

SET drill - Lisa points out that the Fire Guys really don't want a lot of people trying to direct traffic along the road into the park if they are coming in at 50 miles an hour. They want as small a chain of people as possible. We talk and decide - 1 at Cloverdale, 1 at the Camp, and 1 at the Pool.

Next Radio Check - we decide to carry on with our Big Radio Drill #1 anyway, for a number of good reasons. Plannign discussion followed. We used a neat schematic style map cooked up by Christine and William. ( PUT LINK TO DRILL PAGE HERE )
