Fighting Floods
The California Department of Water Resources and the Alameda County Fire Department hosted a fascinating seminar on Flood Fight Methods this past weekend. Our speaker Richard noted that they approach floods like CPR: good to know and important information, but something you don’t want to use. Lots of information in our post.
Congratulations New Trainers!
Martinez Area CERT has four new trainers for our basic training classes. Congratulations graduates!
The Lines Below the Lawn
At our January meeting we heard from USA North 811 about the free service offered by 811 that identifies where utility lines are buried. Calling before you dig could save your life!
Preparing for Danger
The San Francisco Chronicle ran an informative guide, Preparing for Disaster (PDF), a guide to surviving the next big fire or quake. Whether preparing for a wildfire, a house fire, and earthquake or other disasters, make sure you have a plan, some emergency supplies, and back-up information & photos for your important documents.
