***Webinar Announcement***

Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) on Campuses 

Wednesday, May 8 

3:00 p.m. EDT  

 

Join us at 3:00 p.m. EDT on May 8 for a discussion of Campus CERT and its role in emergency preparedness.

FEMA recognizes the unique needs of college and university campuses and is developing tools and resources to help institutions of higher education implement and sustain Campus CERT programs which will help them prepare their campus before, during and after a major disaster or emergency. 

Guest speakers from the University of Southern California, Michigan State University and North Carolina Central University will share their experiences and lessons learned with Campus CERT and outline the value-added benefits the program provides their campus community.

Did you know over 2,000 local jurisdictions and dozens of college and university campuses across the country have used the CERT model to prepare their communities for disasters? You’ll learn exactly what CERT is and what it is not. More importantly, you’ll find out how CERT training can improve the security of your student population and the whole community.

Registration will open next week. Please follow us on Twitter @Citizen_Corps and get next week’s e-Brief to sign up for the webinar!

BEFORE THE SHAKE

Before an Earthquake

The following are things you can do to protect yourself, your family and your property in the event of an earthquake.

• To begin preparing, you should build an emergency kitand make a family communications plan.
• Fasten shelves securely to walls.
• Place large or heavy objects on lower shelves.
• Store breakable items such as bottled foods, glass, and china in low, closed cabinets with latches.
• Fasten heavy items such as pictures and mirrors securely to walls and away from beds, couches and anywhere people sit.
• Brace overhead light fixtures and top heavy objects.
• Repair defective electrical wiring and leaky gas connections. These are potential fire risks. Get appropriate professional help. Do not work with gas or electrical lines yourself.
• Install flexible pipe fittings to avoid gas or water leaks. Flexible fittings are more resistant to breakage.
• Secure your water heater, refrigerator, furnace and gas appliances by strapping them to the wall studs and bolting to the floor. If recommended by your gas company, have an automatic gas shut-off valve installed that is triggered by strong vibrations.
• Repair any deep cracks in ceilings or foundations. Get expert advice if there are signs of structural defects.
• Be sure the residence is firmly anchored to its foundation.
• Store weed killers, pesticides, and flammable products securely in closed cabinets with latches and on bottom shelves.
• Locate safe spots in each room under a sturdy table or against an inside wall. Reinforce this information by moving to these places during each drill.
• Hold earthquake drills with your family members: Drop, cover and hold on.

EARTHQUAKES INTRODUCTION

An earthquake is a sudden slipping or movement of a portion of the Earth’s crust or plates
DAMAGE CAUSED BY EARTHQUAKES , caused by a sudden release of stresses. Earthquake epicenters are usually less than 25 miles below the Earth’s surface and are accompanied and followed by a series of vibrations. Earthquakes occur without any obvious warning.
Earthquakes are such a risk because shaking ground can:
 Cause buildings to move off of their foundations or collapse.
 Damage utilities, structures, and roads.
 Cause fires and explosions.
 Cause structural instability, such as dam failures that can trigger flash floods.
Earthquakes can also trigger landslides and avalanches or tsunamis. After an earthquake, it is important to listen for emergency instructions.
Together, all of these types of damage threaten lives, property, and the environment.
LIKELIHOOD OF AN EARTHQUAKE
Twenty-six urban areas in all parts of the United States are identified as carrying significant risk of earthquake:
 The Western United States, particularly along the San Andreas Fault in California, the Cascadia Subduction Zone in western Oregon and Washington, and up the Alaskan coast
 The New Madrid Fault Zone in Missouri
A few pockets on the east coast, including coastal South Carolina and New England

BE INFORMED

      Emergency preparedness is not the sole concern of Californians for earthquakes or Gulf Coast residents because of hurricanes. Most communities may be impacted by several types of hazards during a lifetime. Americans also travel more than ever before; to areas impacted by hazards they may not be at risk of near their homes. Knowing what to do before, during and after an emergency is a critical part of being prepared and may make all the difference when seconds count.

     Learning what to do in different situations and developing a plan for the local hazards, in places you or your family might be frequenting, will help you to know what to do in an emergency. Developing and customizing your plans for your local hazards, the specific needs of household members and your animals will help you reduce the impact of disasters and may save lives and prevent injuries.

     This Blog is a place to learn the right things to do and when to do them. Please visit and subscribe to Survival Depot. New information will be added each week. Nothing to long or boring. Nothing to waste your time. Vital, life saving information and product reviews to help you in the time of distress.

The winter holidays are a time for celebration, and that means more cooking, home decorating, entertaining, and an increased risk of fire and accidents. SSPD recommends that you follow these guidelines to help make your holiday season safer and more enjoyable.



Holiday Lighting

•Use caution with holiday decorations and, whenever possible, choose those made with flame-resistant, flame-retardant and non-combustible materials.

•Keep candles away from decorations and other combustible materials, and do not use candles to decorate Christmas trees.

•Carefully inspect new and previously used light strings, and replace damaged items before plugging lights in. Do not overload extension cords.

•Don't mount lights in any way that can damage the cord's wire insulation. To hold lights in place, string them through hooks or insulated staples--don't use nails or tacks. Never pull or tug lights to remove them.

•Keep children and pets away from light strings and electrical decoration http://bit.ly/ucPmum

In the last week, we have received several reports of packages being stolen from front porches. As most are aware, delivery companies ring the door bell and leave the package on the front doorstep for residents to retrieve at a later time. In at least two of our recent cases, the packages were stolen in less than 15 minutes of when they were delivered. At this point we are not sure if the delivery trucks are being followed, but this type of criminal activity is common during the holidays. Most thieves are looking for electronics and high end gifts that they can profit from. http://bit.ly/sZa859

First Trust Alarm and First Trust Industries are just like you when the holiday season kicks off. We get busy with the exciting preparations for the two biggest holidays of the year. Christmas and New Years celebrations come into mind and all the worries seem to disappear. The LAST thing on your mind is how will your children behave during an emergency. Do your children know how to answer the questions a 9-1-1 operator might ask?

SANTA CRUZ POLICE: Continued traffic rerouting due to gas leak Natural Bridges @ Mission St. Ext. Expect closures over next 12 hours. No evacuations needed.



Explosions caused by natural gas leaks occur a few times each year. Individual homes, small businesses and other structures are most frequently affected when an internal leak builds up gas inside the structure. Frequently, the blast will be enough to significantly damage a building but leave it standing. In these cases, the people inside tend to have minor to moderate injuries. Occasionally, the gas can collect in high enough quantities to cause a deadly explosion, disintegrating one or more buildings in the process. The gas usually dissipates readily outdoors, but can sometimes collect in dangerous quantities if flow rates are high enough. However, considering the tens of millions of structures that use the fuel, the individual risk of using natural gas is very low. http://bit.ly/sZ40x4

If your a regular elevator rider it would not hurt you to know when the last time your elevator equipment was inspected. Do you know what happens with your elevator system if there is a fire in your building? These are serious questions. If you have an inspectors sticker in your elevator car and it is over one year old, contact the buildings property management company and ask them about it. It's your concern and you have the right to make that call.

Do you need an inspection? Contact First Trust Alarm Company and ask Joe about how to keep your elevator up to date. Follow this link http://firsttrustalarm.net/contact/index.html http://bit.ly/smuZEU

great grandpa has 95 years and still looks at life in a way that compels me to remain on the right wagon/right track.

Did You Do It In The Past 30Days?

We are halfway through National Preparedness Month, and we hope you've been able to take steps to get prepared for emergencies.  Earlier this month, we talked about two simple steps you can take to get prepared for an emergency - staying informedand creating an emergency plan. 

This week, we're encouraging you to create or update youremergency kit.  Ready.gov has a complete list of resources and tips you'll need. Having an emergency kit in your home, car and workplace will allow you to have enough supplies for you and those that depend on you in case local officials and relief workers cannot reach everyone immediately after a disaster. 

Building an emergency kit can be inexpensive and fun. Click herefor some of the creative things that people have done to encourage emergency kits in their community! You'll find many of the things you need already in your home. Be sure to tailor your kit to anyspecial needs you and your family may have.  For example:

•         Include waterproof boots or shoes if your local area is vulnerable to flooding,

•         Add in your important documents - insurance details, bank information, etc.,

•         Include refills of important prescriptions, and

•         If space allows, add children's games to keep them entertained

•         Do not forget your pet! 

So what's in your emergency kit?  Leave a comment on the NPMdiscussion forum and share how you are getting prepared and the items you've added to your emergency kit.
