Emergency Prep 3/23 Wendy's

Quick Review of prior meetings by Catherine

• Personal Go Kit (3 days) (put together by Pat O’Coffey and Peggy Wargo, GIS Mapping)
• There is a website created by Pat OCoffey called ssepo.org, which stands for South Skyline Emergency Preparedness Org. go kit list, (http://www.ssepo.org/basic-steps.html)
• Neighborhood Coordinator
  • Catherine reviewed the goals we hope to meet by finding Neighborhood Coordinators.
  • Introduce yourself and get to know who's who and what's what of the neighbors assigned to you (assignments below).
  • Identify gates, fences, safe routes for your neighbors
  • We now have about 13 neighborhood coordinators – see current list below
• Butano Canyon Level
  • Each neighborhood coordinator (nc) should know who the other neighborhood coordinators are (see current list below)
  • We’ve started walkie talkie drills, and first Sundays aren’t working so we’re moving to first Saturday of the month at 9am. In the event of an emergency we can use up to 4 channels to allow separate teams to communicate with each other. All our walkie-talkies are programmed with these channels.
  • Some of us are taking CERT, and we hope to achieve common terminology which we can use with other emergency teams. Note: Lisa Mateja described a co-operative agreement between the involved agencies for shelter-opening procedures which seems to be a rather flexible process and pivoted on the common respect between the agencies' on peer judgement.
  • The school can be opened up by any of the 5 co-ordinating groups.
  • Joan McCormick mentioned the emergency shed at the end of the volleyball court. We need to inventory it. Cotton is going to put a sign on it identifying it. Wendy made 4 copies of the keys.
  • We discussed various exit strategies out of the Canyon in the event of certain emergencies. Several people volunteered to explore options and report back at the next meeting.
  • We also discussed the fuel ladder that we need to get out if we can, or a “controlled burn”, and Rob Skinner was supposed to coordinate a removal of Redwoods and Fir that people would like to get rid of with the help of Big Creek Lumber.
  • Catherine, mentioned that we need a call tree to notify people and that's back to the neighborhood coordinators.
  • Currently Ethan Mateja and Ross Noguchi are fixing the alarm siren at the pool. We need to come up with a siren code: two blasts flood, three fire, four come to rally point
  • The GIS mapping project. Joan added that we have photos of all the water meters with their locations with the maps
  • Don Gilbert: we need to contact everyone about GIS mapping. Don volunteers to draft a letter for the population. We need a mixed strategy; emails, hand delivery, Don's email list. Don volunteers to do a letter for distribution.

Our next steps:

• 1 Exit routes have to be figured out
• 2 Shed meeting to inventory ( Wendy, Casey, Lisa)
• 3 GIS mapping -letter by Don Gilbert. Schedule TBD.
• 4 Joan coloring parcel map based on 'neighborhoods' and 'neighborhood coordinators' see below

Important Dates coming up:

• April 7 9am , 1st Saturday, walkie-talkie monitoring network
