Description
San Bruno City Council Meeting May 22, 2012
11. Community Preparedness Committee Annual Report
B
This
year's
members,
myself,
George
Capone,
is
vice-chair
who's
recovering
from
another
knee
surgery,
so
he
couldn't
be
here
this
evening.
Steven
Johnson
wasn't
feeling
too
well
Ron
Lapidus.
It
was
behind
me
here
and
mike
Ward.
Also
that
is
here
this
evening
and
Irene
O'connell.
Thank
you,
who
is
our
liaison
to
the
committee
this
year
were
with
pleasure
and
also
saddened
that
its
chief
heggs
last
meeting
this
evening
he's
been
a
great
support
to
us.
As
a
committee.
B
We
established
the
cert
program,
the
community
emergency
response
team
training
program,
and
we
have
more
information
on
that
particular
pilot
program
that
we
launched
last
year.
We
conducted
also
our
first
cert
drill
at
shelter
creek,
which
was
a
huge
success:
participation
with
our
san
bruno
amateur
radio,
volunteers,
collaboration
with
the
crime
prevention
committee.
We
staffed
information
booths
at
the
city
and
county
events,
our
annual
san
mateo
county
preparedness
day.
We
also
did
sears
preparedness
day
this
last
year
at
tam
fran
and
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
Business
Expo
at
tam
fran.
B
B
We
offer
disaster
awareness
and
preparedness,
basic
disaster
skills,
disaster
medical
course,
light
search-and-rescue
disaster,
psychology
and
terrorism,
team
communications
organization
and
management,
and
then
we
have
the
skills,
development
and
application,
which
is
the
hands-on
exercise,
which
is
the
final
component
of
the
program
itself
and
currently
I'm
bouncing
back
and
forth,
because
we
do
have
a
cert
session
going
on
as
we
speak,
and
tonight's
session
is
on
disaster.
Psychology
and
terrorism,
so
I'll
be
bouncing
back
down
there,
after
which
we've
been
hosting
at
the
Recovery
Center.
B
This
is
from
the
tabletop
exercise
of
the
last
year's
graduation
class
and
going
over
the
incident
command
system.
These
are
photos
of
the
light,
search
and
rescue
on
the
hands-on
exercise
at
the
fire
station.
So
the
participants
really
were
involved
in
my
hands
on
of
performing
light,
search
and
rescue
the
fire
suppression,
where
everybody
has
the
opportunity
to
go
in
and
actually
suppress
a
fire
and
learn
exactly
what
to
do
and
how
to
do
it
always
using
the
buddy
system
so
that
going
in
pairs-
and
this
was
our
first
graduating
class.
B
B
This
was
a
picture
of
the
first
drill.
Soon
it
might
be
one
of
the
videos
that
we
did
at
shelter
creek
on
october
15th,
so
they
actually
on
top
of
doing
the
hands-on
exercises.
Part
of
the
cert
program
itself
did
an
onsite
drill
at
shelter
creek,
where
we
utilized
stations
and
everybody
got
to
practice
all
of
the
stations
from
the
different
sessions
of
the
cert
training.
So
there
we
have
some
of
the
participants
at
the
first-aid
station.
B
We
also
have
the
police
department
come
out
into
a
security
demonstration,
so
it's
their
plan
to
use
the
basketball
court
in
case
they
have
some
security
issues
to
detain
people,
so
they
went
over
that
light
search-and-rescue
as
well,
and
then
they
actually
made
it
a
challenge.
So
there
were
teams
and
the
winning
team
who
made
it
back
to
the
completion
circle.
First,
all
received
a
disaster
pack.
B
We
also
did
a
lot
of
work
this
last
year
with
community
preparedness
committee
and
support
of
the
San
Bruno
amateur
radio
volunteers.
Several
of
us
that
sit
on
the
committee
are
also
amateur
radio
operators.
We
convened
our
meetings
at
the
San
Bruno
resource
and
Recovery
Center.
We
increase
the
member
attendance
at
the
meetings
and
we
also
collaborated
with
the
millbrae
Radio
Club.
B
These
are
the
members
that
are
part
of
the
amateur
radio
volunteers
club
as
well
myself,
Ron
Lapidus,
mike
Ward,
Jim
Allen
is
our
fire
liaison
and
what
I
would
consider
an
expert
in
amateur
radio,
communications
and
equipment?
He
knows
his
stuff
and
Walt
long.
Who
is
our
radio
club
liaison?
Who
really
has
kept
the
club
going
in
the
last
couple
of
years
over
our
transition?
B
We
also
participated
in
preparedness
day
at
the
county.
Fairgrounds,
which
may
of
you
may
or
may
not
know,
has
now
been
moved
to
June
and
is
on
the
first
day
of
the
San
Mateo
County
Fair,
which
actually
has
worked
out
quite
well.
I
think
the
attendance
is
good
and
gives
people
an
opportunity
to
park
for
free
and
actually
attend
the
fair
for
free.
So
that's
a
nice
incentive.
We
distributed
preparedness,
literature,
we
registered
san
bruno
residents
for
the
community
emergency
response
training
and
we
displayed
the
cert
training.
B
Videos
from
our
pilot
program
and
Ron
Lapidus
also
did
a
radio
transmission
demonstration
for
our
amateur
radio
club,
our
goals
for
2012
to
continue
to
promote
certain
community
preparedness
at
City
and
County
events.
This
year's
San
Mateo
County
preparedness
day,
Saturday
june
nine
from
11
to
two,
and
so
we
look
forward
to
that.
We
are
also
in
the
works
of
planning
our
own
san
bruno
preparedness
day
that
we
would
like
to
have
here
at
the
Senior
Center,
so
much
along
what
the
county
does
at
the
county
level,
but
for
ourselves
and
locally.
Here.
B
B
We've
done
quite
a
bit
of
this
on
updating
our
posting
of
the
committee
minutes
and
agendas,
but
also
wanting
to
look
at
updating
the
content
itself
and
looking
at
creating
a
cert
page
on
the
website
as
well
and
exploring
the
use
of
social
media
to
conduct
community
outreach
to
residents
pertaining
to
preparedness.
We've
got
so
much
at
our
fingertips
these
days
that
we
really
want
to
take
a
look
at
how
we
can
best
utilize
or
social
media
and
just
wanted
to
ask
how
many
of
the
council
is
signed
up
on
smc
alert.
B
Because
somebody
else's
again,
we
want
to
make
the
recommendations.
It's
you
go
on
smc,
alert,
info
and
register
so
that
you
can
get
all
the
emergency
alerts
and
then
again
we
want
to
propose
to
the
council
for
us
as
a
city,
to
utilize
this
resource,
and
the
committee
would
like
to
look
at
the
following
topics
to
actually
address
for
utilizing:
smc
alert
messages
for
basic
emergency
information,
weather-alerts
road
closures,
neighborhood
watch
alerts,
burglary
alerts,
preparedness,
emails
and
information
and
distribution.
There's
been
several
occasions
where
we've
had
road
closures
in
the
city
and
I
know.
B
I
would
appreciate
it.
If
I
had
that
information
ahead
of
time,
because
then
you
can
use
a
different
route.
One
being
I
think
the
most
recent
was
the
top
of
san
bruno
avenue
at
skyline
for
the
repaving.
So
for
those
of
us
that
go
that
route,
we
had
to
turn
around
and
come
back
down.
I
think
another
was
in
the
last
couple
years
where
we
had
the
slide
at
Crystal,
Springs
Road,
when
that
road
was
closed
for
I,
believe
two
or
three
days.
B
So
again,
it's
good
information
to
get
out
to
the
community
so
that
we
know
how
to
go
around
to
those
things
and
I.
Imagine
with
the
caltrain
upgrade
project
as
well,
that
that's
another
good
opportunity
to
utilize
that
for
that
kind
of
information-
and
there
are
a
few
cities
that
are
really
using
it
well
and
emails
in
crime
prevention
tips
and
other
avenues
for
getting
information
out
when
it
comes
to
even
events
such
as
clean
sweep
and
different
things
that
you
can
get
that
information
out
to
folks.
B
Currently
there's
over
2500
registered
subscribers
in
san
bruno.
So
that's
a
lot
already.
What
we
would
like
to
do,
of
course,
is
if
we
utilize
it
more
than
we
can
do
the
marketing
campaigning
to
get
more
folks
signed
up
and
there's
over
25,000
subscribers
countywide.
And
if
you
had
any
questions
about
that,
we
have
Brian
here.
Who
is
our
expert
on
smc
alert?
B
Who
can
answer
any
questions
and
then
just
a
couple
events
that
are
coming
up
again
disaster
preparedness
day
saturday
june
night
and
of
course
we
always
are
there
and
have
a
booth
will
actually
have
community
preparedness
committee,
as
well
as
a
cert
table
this
year,
and
then
the
great
california
shakeout
is
october.
1810
18
at
1018
am
just
a
reminder
that
you
can
go
on
their
website,
shakeout,
org
and
register
and
participate
in
the
great
california
shakeout,
which
is
the
drop
cover
and
hold
drill,
statewide
and
actually
there's
quite
a
few
other
states.
D
B
B
D
So
what
I'd
like
to
invite
you
to,
if
you
wanted
to
have
a
booth
at
the
posy
parade
with
the
other
community
committees,
also,
but
also
I,
think
it's
important
that
that
we
do
pursue
the
school
district
involvement.
You
know,
because
the
kids
need
to
know-
and
you
know
the
same
schools
need
to
know
what
you
know
what
to
do
in
the
event.
So
I
would
encourage
that
to
be
one
of
the
priorities,
as
you
know,
as
the
next
year
comes
along.
Thank
you
to
go.
E
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
your
and
the
committee's
continued
commitment
and
your
passion
that
you
have
for
this.
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
spearheading,
as
well
as
the
committee,
the
serb
program,
I
believe
it
would
not
have
had
its
first
graduation
in
May
of
2012
without
you
and
the
committee's
backing
support
and
staffs
working
collaboratively
so
that
to
bring
that
simpler,
no
one
to
continue
it
on
I
was
able
to
stop
by
for
a
moment
on
the
graduation
day
and
was
very
impressed
with
their
enthusiasm.
E
F
Mr.
ibera
and
I
were
just
commenting
earlier
how
far
this
committee
has
come.
I,
don't
know
what,
10-15
years
ago,
we
attended
a
couple
of
meetings
from
the
prior
group
and
they
had
wanted
to
disband
because
they
couldn't
think
of
what
needed
to
be
done,
and
we
encourage
them
not
to
do
that,
because
there
was
obviously
a
lot
that
needed
to
be
done,
and
it's
so
wonderful
to
see
you
all.
F
C
It
certainly
is
exciting
to
see
this
program
growing
egg
I
remember
when
I
used
to
sit
as
a
liaison
from
the
crime
committee
in
the
meetings
and
we
were
trying
to
get
those
things
started.
It
was
a
struggle
at
first,
so
it
really
is
it's
nice
to
see
it.
Pay
off.
I
was
wondering
about
the
SMC
alert
if
the
city
was
interested
in
having
local
messages
posted
to
that
what
the
mechanism
would
be,
who
we
would
would
we
need
a
central
coordinator
for
the
city
who
would
then
feed
the
messages
up
to
some
perfect.
D
G
G
D
G
Smc
alert
is
free,
it
every
every
city,
some
schools,
some
special
districts,
are
using
it
in
the
county
in
San,
Mateo
County.
Our
employees
are
asked
to
sign
up
for
smc
alert
on
in
one
category
for
employees
or
staff.
So
we
can
contacts
adapt
in
an
emergency
and
let
them
know
when
to
report
where
to
report
and.
G
It
does
take
one
coordinator
to
set
it
up
for
your
city
and
a
good
place
to
put
the
person
with
the
message
ability
is
perhaps
dispatch
or
the
police
department
where
the
watch
commander
would
would
would
be
operating
24
hours
a
day.
There
are
some
best
practices
that
come
with
this
too.
We
don't
send
messages
to
cell
phones
and
pagers
after
8pm
or
9pm.
It's
up
to
the
city
to
decide
when
is
appropriate
and
we
do
email
only
after
9pm
unless
it's
something
urgent.
G
2538
subscribers
countywide
that
would
like
information
from
san
bruno
and
I
wouldn't
mind
doing
a
test
with
you
to
demonstrate
that
sometime
and
get
the
feedback
from
the
subscribers
and
overall
we're
we're
down
to
2,100
590
subscribers,
all
over
the
county
that
are
managed.
The
remainder
there
are
at
large
people,
probably
from
santa
clara
county
san
francisco
county,
that
want
information
from
our
system,
but
it
does
take.
One
person
to
coordinate
it.
A
Deena,
as
we
always
say
here,
there's
a
large
portion
of
the
city
runs
on
volunteerism.
People,
don't
realize
how
many
commissions,
boards
and
committees
are
out
there
that
do
tons
of
work
that
it's
just
sort
of
in
the
background
for
a
lot
of
it
you're
in
the
forefront
a
lot
of
it,
because
of
course,
you
have
some
classes
that
you
can
outreach
to
people,
but
a
lot
of
the
city
runs
in
volunteerism,
just
like
your
committee.
So
please
thank
thank
you
again
and
thank
all
the
members.
Thank.
