Our immediate goal is to assess the size and needs of our CERT 'community', and establish some initial goals. Perhaps these will do for a start:
1) Share class photos: Fairfax County CERT-27 & 28, and perhaps some others who completed our CERT training 2007 June 9, and even more who participated in the exercise, will have a bunch of photos to share.
2) There are certainly other sites or communities who are addressing the same issues. As you learn of them, please post.
3) Let's make the connection between the county/state and personal emergency plans. The County has a number of disaster plans. We will be building our personal and family and neighborhood disaster plans, scaling up to fit with the larger plans, and allowing all individuals to participate as fully as possible using the resources each person has at their command.
1) I don't know if you are able to post photos directly to this blog. If so, good. If not, you might post them elsewhere ( like Kodak or My Space), and just post a link here.3) Some county disaster plan documents require some publication control because they address susceptible sites or resources. I'm told you might need to show ID and sign for copies, but they are still public. Electronic copies may be free, but printed copies might have a small duplicating cost.
