Where are we at now?

• We now have 5 zones identified by color.

• We are verifying that all households in our community have seen this information and understand the purpose of the Emergency Preparedness Committee and what to do in the event of an actual event.

Where are we at now? (cont.)• We had a radio meeting in the summer of 2009• We had a drill in October 2009, 2010, and 2011• 2009 - 33 houses represented of the total 79 houses in our

community (42% involvement)• 2010 - we had 16 out of 79 (20% involvement)• 2011 - we had 18 out of 79 (23% involvement)• Things that we learned from the drill:

– What building hazards can we identify?– Up to date fire extinguishers– Water distribution in a dire emergency (extra water in your house)– Knowing the location of the utility shut offs at your residence

(electric, water, propane, etc.)– How do we handle downed power lines?– How to handle snow emergencies.

What additional resources do we have to mitigate an emergency within our

community?

Where do we go from here?

We will be contacting the community with the drill info for October.

We will continue to have annual drills.

We will offer relevant training to assist in our communities emergency preparedness.

We need to have a way to get in touch with people when the power is out.

PLEASE MAKE SURE WE HAVE YOUR CELL NUMBER!!
