Changes

Hello,

NLC CERT members ... I'm Ron Thomas the webmaster of this site... You will see many changes happening to your site as we begin updating it from it's original format. Nothing should be lost and everything will be enhanced... Give us 3 or 4 days to complete everything and then you can comment.

Blogger has made many changes and in order to keep up we have to change the site.... Another change that is happening is Barb Dudley from Central Coast CERT Newport is coming on board to help keep this site updated and to edit the technical end. She can put on slide shows for you and pictures.... Polls, etc. We have been working together for years and she is the main contributor to the Central Coast Cert website... many of you know her already.

You can continue to make entries in the usual manner via email. We have that part fixed...

Rethinking Who Should Be Considered 'Essential' During A Pandemic Flu Outbreak

Rethinking Who Should Be Considered 'Essential' During A Pandemic Flu Outbreak: "ethical guidance for pandemic planning that ensures a skeletal infrastructure remain intact at all times. Dr. Kass says, “when preparing for a severe pandemic flu it is crucial for leaders to recognize that if the public has limited or no access to food, water, sewage systems, fuel and communications, the secondary consequences may cause greater sickness death and social breakdown than the virus itself.”"

Ancient Tsunami Carried Giant Boulders to Tonga: "The largest of the seven boulders is 50 feet (15 meters) wide and estimated to weigh 1,600 tons. It currently sits more than 300 feet (100 meters) from the sea and 30 feet (10 meters) above sea level, an anomaly on the South Pacific island's flat landscape.

'We suspect that this may be the largest [object] moved uphill by a tsunami,' said Cliff Frohlich, a senior scientist at the Institute for Geophysics at the University of Texas at Austin."

HeraldNet: FEMA bunker in Bothell ready for disaster: "It was built to withstand a nuclear bomb.

The walls are up to 18 inches thick. More than 450 tons of reinforced steel and 4,000 cubic yards of concrete protect the underground building.

Today, the former Cold War fallout shelter in Bothell is used to manage the federal government's emergency response to natural disasters in the Pacific Northwest.

When major disasters strike in Washington, Alaska, Oregon or Idaho, the Federal Emergency Management Agency coordinates its response from the building off 228th Street that is a concrete bunker surrounded by a chain-link fence and dotted with antennas."

Siuslaw News Online

Siuslaw News Online: "When a disaster strikes, the immediate response is panic. This is magnified by the fact that a single disaster causes many individual emergencies at one time.

Unfortunately, the police or fire department may not be able to respond to your call for help in a timely manner. Professional emergency response to your situation may be delayed for hours, even days. Of necessity you and your neighbors become the first responders to your emergencies. Preparing your neighborhood is vital.

Neighbors that are prepared are more effective in their response to a disaster and are able to be self-sufficient in the first 72 hours after a disaster."

MailTribune.com: CERT: In Case of Emergency: "It's only a matter of time before a major wildfire or flood slams into Ashland, so the city's Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is busy organizing people into groups that have survival kits, know where everyone's children, old people and animals are, know how to turn off water, electricity and gas, and have gotten to know each other by first name.

It's called Map Your Neighborhood and it happens at block parties where people organize potlucks, say howdy, learn how to reduce fire hazards in yards, and gain confidence they can make use of the so-called Golden Hour — the first hour after disaster strikes — to save lives and homes, says CERT Program Coordinator Lucy Edwards."

LAist: Why You Shouldn't Run Outside During an Earthquake

LAist: Why You Shouldn't Run Outside During an Earthquake: "'Running is one of the most dangerous things you can do,' explained Brian Humphrey, Spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department and a previous Community Emergency Response Team instructor. 'People can lose their lives when they run, especially when windows or glass mirrors are near. You should duck, cover and hold.'"
