The Sun Lakes website (sunlakescc.com) contains everything you need to know about our community. It also explains the Emergency Preparedness Action Plan (EPAP) that was first conceived 28 years ago. The Plan pulls together hundreds of trained volunteers and resources available to help and protect residents in a catastrophe. An Executive Team heads EPAP's Management Team. Working with them are District Delegates, Alternates, EPAP Coordinators, Zone Captains, and Medical Rescue Teams. In addition to the District teams, eight Management Units operate during a drill or actual catastrophe: Public Information, Communications, Medical, EPAP Patrol, Information Management, Coordination, Animal Rescue Group, and RV Group. The function of each is explained on the website. The Executive Team rotates constant possession of a special cell phone (951) 524-3126. The Team member who has the phone at the time of an incident is in charge of activating the Plan, and coordinating activities inside and outside of Sun Lakes. When EPAP is activated, the Incident Commander will normally be an Executive Team member. The Incident Command System was created by FEMA after 9/11. This system is in place across the country in all public emergency response organizations. Our EPAP organization uses many elements of this system. The Management Units meet with the Executive Team on the third Monday of January, March, May, July, September and November. Meetings are held at 3 pm in the EOC, located between Carlos' Carts and the Maintenance Department, and are open to all residents. EPAP also presents First Aid training that is open to all. Classes are six hours long, either one six-hour session or two three-hour sessions. The last six hour session for 2019 is scheduled for Oct. 23 from 9 am to 3:30 pm. The two three-hour sessions are scheduled for Oct. 8 and 10 from 2 to 5 pm. Classes are held in the EOC. If you'd like to take the class, contact Linda Myers-Kalb at (951) 529-9087. The fees at the door are $20 for the class and $5 for materials. We hope that those who have taken the class will volunteer their services during EPAP drills and actual emergencies. For more information regarding preparedness, click on the "About EPAP" link on the website. There you'll find minutes of our meetings, past agendas, the Homeowner's Manual, training materials, and any new, updated information. Although no one can predict the occurrence of a catastrophic event, EPAP is our best insurance against a devastating disaster.
