Emergency Preparedness Program
We meet the first Thursday of the month at
10:30 am in the Lodge Ballroom. Our mission
is to assure that everyone in our community is
prepared for any emergency. The Beaumont
City Office of Emergency,
Riverside County, has provided
free training at various places
in the area. The last one was
at the Plantation at the Lakes.
Congratulations to those who
went. We encourage all to take
advantage of this free training
known as CERT, Community
Emergency Response Training.
It is a 20-hour course and is also often
offered at Beaumont Civic Center by the Office
of Emergency Services with Instructors Rick
Cook and Mitch White. We share much of
this disaster preparedness information at
our general meetings. It's important to have
a plan, at least a week's supply of drinking
water and food, protected clothing, and first
aid supplies. We have teams that focus on
areas for community wide disaster planning.
Come meet some of the team leaders and
become a member in your
area of interest. We always
welcome those who have
experience that would be
helpful to the community.
At the August meeting,
Fred Porter will speak on
"Lessons Learned" regarding
his family's experience in the
Moore Oklahoma Tornado. It
will be most informative. We look forward to
seeing you on Thursday, Aug. 1, and on Sept.
5, at 10:30 am in the Lodge Ballroom. If you
have any questions or need more information
please feel free to call Anita Worthen, EPP
Chair. ~ Anita Worthen
