Even with all our technology and the inventions that make modern life so much easier than it once was, it takes just one big natural disaster to wipe all that away and remind us that, here on Earth, we're still at the mercy of nature.

Accounting FORMS
Neighborhood & Area FORMS
NEW! Volunteer Hour FORMS
WHY Track Volunteer Hours? Once a presidential disaster declaration is issued and
damages are documented, FEMA can provide up to a 75 percent cost reimbursement for eligible projects. State and local entities then must come up with a 25 percent shared cost match. ($, donations, services)
The time citizens and volunteer groups spend sandbagging, clearing debris from clogged drains, taking and logging calls, staffing warming centers, and many other duties may be an allowable reimbursement under the FEMA Public Assistance programs but volunteer efforts need to be organized and documented correctly.
WHY Track Volunteer Hours?
If disaster cost $1,000,000.00
Lindon must provide $250,000.00
100 x $17.50/hr @ 4 hrs = $7,000.00
5,000 x $17.50/hr @ 4 hrs = $350,000.00
But if disaster cost . . . $10,000,000.00
Then we must provide $2,500,000.00

CommunicationsDavid Banner
Communications in an Emergency
Phone Runner Radio
First choice in an emergency• Everyone has one• Highly reliable• Easy to use
BUT:• Requires infrastructure• Infrastructure can be overloaded
Phone
CommunicationsNetwork
If any of the links between you and the other person are broken or overwhelmed, your callcannot go through.
Nat’l Guard - Hurricane Katrina
• Main communications hub in New Orleans destroyed• Cell towers downed• Damaged telephone lines
• Satellite phones overloaded satellite bandwidth
• Hurricane landfall August 29.• Most National Guard communications
restored by Sept. 12.
Texting• Requires very little bandwidth• Uses phone’s control channel• Contains location information• No “Text to 911” in Utah
Phone: Use for Non-Voice
Phone: Use for Non-Voice
Social Media• Low bandwidth• Posting is quick• Reaches large numbers• Useful for:• “I am safe”• “Stay away from this
area”
Runners
• Useful over short distance• Reliable• Always send in pairs
BUT:• Two-way communications is slow
Foot / Bike / Motorized Vehicle
Radio
FRS (Family Radio Service)
Ham Radio
FRS Radio
• Inexpensive• Easy to use• Easy to find
BUT:• Very low power (1/2 watt)• Limited number of channels• Antenna not swappable• Limited to line-of-sight
communications
Ham radio – “When all else fails…”
• Lots of frequencies• Handheld radios can tie into repeaters to traverse terrain• Larger radios capable of communicating over great distances• Can use digital modes for faxes, images, etc.
BUT:• Requires a written exam to obtain FCC license• Off-the-shelf equipment can be expensive• Not as ubiquitous as phones/FRS radios• “You may not be able to talk to the person you want to talk to, but you will probably be able to talk to somebody.”

THANK YOUfor being here, for being great, for being you
Worrying about the past or the future isn't productive. When you start chastising yourself for past mistakes, or seeing disaster around every corner, stop and take a breath and ask yourself what you can do right now to succeed.
~Harvey Mackay
