Matt and Susan attended the Mountain View City CERT Steering committee meeting on Tuesday, April 2nd. We went over the proper usage of the Message Forms ... ICS Form 213 MTV Summary, ICS Form 213 MTV General, and the CERT damage assessment form. We certainly feel more confident in our ability to properly utilize these forms in the event of an emergency.
The City Wide CERT exercise planned for April 20th, was discussed. The scenario will be that of a Large Storm. Suggested exercises for the day include identifying and being aware of the locations of power lines and storm drains. Events that can be reported may include, downed trees, downed power lines, flooding, auto accidents, totally or partially inaccessable roads, people trapped in vehicles with rising waters, etc.
Our monthly radio check-in went well. We specifically tested radios across the entire Wagon Wheel Neighborhood. Coverage was good everywhere except on the longest diagonal across the entire area.
