Quiet night in last night...needed it!
Just got volunteered to be a member of the Red Cross Emergency Response Unit for Samara & Carrillo!
The earthquake from a couple of weeks ago definitely showed us this was lacking for the area...
Having had some experience back in my GNJ days with fire drills, etc...I figured why not!
Here's the ad
Who is interested in being apart of a Volunteer Samara-Carrillo Emergency Response Unit? Men and Women.
*The idea is the person calls 911 FIRST.
*The idea is the person COULD call the ERU after and we would respond to offer assistance waiting for 911 to arrive.
*The idea is in case of a natural disaster you would take care of your family FIRST and when your people are safe then meet at the ERU command center to follow plans/procedures that will in place to help the community as long as it is safe to do so and you are not in the way of the 911 responders.
*The idea is in case of a fire to offer assistance until 911 arrives.
*The idea is there will be a community siren that with the consent of emergency officials would sound to warn the community of danger.
As a volunteer
- You would be required to take some basic medical training and emergency response training.
- You would be required to build your own medical/emergency kit
- You would be required to carry in your car an emergency kit and fire extinguisher
- You would be required be available at least one day a week to be responsible for the cell phone
- You would be required to be apart of a Phone Chain
- You will be asked to help with fundraisers
This is serious.
Is this something you are willing to do?
We may only have each other in an emergency!
:)
