NEW AND ONGOING BUSINESS:

GEORGE ANNOUNCED NORTH LINCOLN COUNTY CERT CAN NOW BE FOUND AT CITIZENS CORPS OF DHS.GOV. THERE WILL BE A LISTING OF PROGRAMS BY STATE. THANK YOU GEORGE FOR CONTRIBUTING TO THE CAUSE.

WE WERE GIVEN A DETAILED MAP OF OUR AREA, WITH WHICH WE PLAN TO PINPOINT EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH OUR PROGRAM. WITH THIS FORMAT WE WILL BE BETTER ENABLED TO CARE FOR OUR AREA AND TO SHOW WHERE ANY WEAK AREAS MIGHT BE. ALSO, ENABLING GROUPS TO BE FORMED. MACK HAS GENEROUSLY OFFERED TO ORGANIZE OUR TSUNAMI MAP WITH NAMES OF MEMBERS AND IMPORTANT LOCATIONS. ANOTHER SUGGESTION WAS FORMING A PHONE TREE, WHICH WILL BE DISCUSSED AT A FUTURE MEETING.

GEORGE HAS ENLISTED A FEW VETERINARIANS TO TAKE THE NEXT CERT CLASS SCHEDULED IN THE LATE FALL. THIS IS AN EFFORT TO ENFORCE OUR DESIRE AS A GROUP TO ASSIST OUR ANIMAL FRIENDS IN THE EVENT OF A DISASTER. WE ALREADY HAVE ALMOST 45 PEOPLE SIGNED UP FOR THE UP COMING CLASS. EACH CLASS, HOWEVER, WILL BE LIMITED TO 25 PEOPLE. GLAD TO SEE THE RESPONSE OF OUR COMMUNITY.

SILETZ HAS ASKED US TO TRAIN THEM IN SERT. STUDENT EMERGENCY RESPONSE. WE ALL AGREED THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING. SILETZ IS OUT OF OUR AREA, BUT THE CASINO IS PART OF OUR COMMUNITY.

WE DISCUSSED USING A PIECE OF LAND AT ROADS END TO USE AS A STORAGE SIGHT AND POSSIBLE EVACUATION AREA. THE LAND HAS BEEN OFFERED TO OUR GROUP. BRAYDEN WILL BE CHECKING INTO ANY PROBLEMS WE COULD INCURE WITH THE COMMUNITY OF ROADS END.

WE DISCUSSED THE MAGNETIC SIGNS FOR VEHICLES USED TO LABEL US AS CERT. THIS IS BEING DISCOURAGED UNTIL FURTHER INVESTIGATION.
