12 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | MAY 2022 | EPAP SEEKS MEDICAL PERSONNEL As with any planned community, we all must be prepared for possible emergency situations. Led by our new Executive Team, EPAP has a plan to cope with both natural and man-made disasters. Two important parts of our Plan involve volunteer medical personnel. 1. At the District level, we have Medical Rescue Teams who are trained to serve as first responders in an emergency. Our plan calls for each District to establish Medical Rescue Teams. In a catastrophic event, injuries may occur, and professional medical assistance may not be readily available. We must be prepared to help ourselves and our neighbors. The Medical Rescue Team responds to the home of an injured resident, assesses the injuries, provides first aid, and recommends necessary actions as appropriate. 2. At the Emergency Operations Center, we have the Medical Unit, which coordinates medical resources and supplies. It is responsible for all on-site medical resources, including medically qualified volunteer personnel and supplies. The Director of this Unit coordinates resources with the District Medical Rescue Teams, and manages the Medical Unit at the EOC. The Medical director's duties include: • Support medical training programs for personnel. • Provide supervision, and logistical support for medical personnel. • Monitor the amount and readiness of on-site medical supplies. • Maintain a supply of First Aid materials at the District and Community level. EPAP urgently needs volunteer medical personnel to help us in these areas. Give back to your community by helping EPAP do its very important work in helping Sun Lakes be prepared for emergencies. If you or someone you know in Sun Lakes might be able to help, we would like to hear from you. Please call us at (951) 524-3126, or email us at EPAP@SunLakesCC.com. Like any other plan, the EPAP Plan is only as good as the people who work to maintain it and are prepared to implement it, if and when that time comes. In other words, for this plan to be successful, it must have the continuing support of all Sun Lakes residents. Thank you to everyone that came to the March meeting to welcome Riverside County Search dogs. They were awesome! I also want to thank Chantal Cedillo for taking on the role of sending out updates to the group. So look forward to email updates coming soon. Our next meeting is scheduled for Mon., May 16 at 10 am in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room. Our guest speaker will be Ellen Carr with Tender Loving Critters Rescue. Ellen will be speaking on bottle feeding baby kittens. She might bring one in if one is available. Let's hope so. Remember, July is our dark month, so after May there will not be another meeting until September. Please keep an eye on your pets and remember we live with wildlife! Also, slow down when driving — baby ducks will soon be walking with mommy. See you all at the May meeting. All are welcomed to our meetings so come join us. Info, Sandy Burgon, (909) 855-0226. I'm Joan Burke and have lived here in Sun Lakes for 7 years; I absolutely love it. It has become my passion to share this joy of community with you, my real estate clients. I have enjoyed wonderful friendships here, many of whom are past clients. I may not be a mega-sales person, but for you, that is an advantage. I spend my time dotting the i's and crossing the t's to be sure your sales documents are correct, and that they protect your rights, as buyer or seller. My family and friends call me a "ONE DAY ONE-DER" because of the 12 homes I sold last year, 7 of them sold in one day. I am more proud that 11 of the 12 homes I sold closed at asking price or above – sometimes way above! My team assists with staging (and sometimes repairing) your property and taking pictures that show every nook and cranny in the best possible light. I have wide knowledge of local laws and HOA rules, and I can guide you smoothly into joining our SLCC community. I know how to negotiate and to protect you from liability, as well as unreasonable and unethical requests from outside parties. For Veterans, I support Homes for Heroes, which gives back a portion of my commission to you at closing. It's my way of saying "Thank You" for all you do and have done for our country. I also chair the Dog Owners' Group at Sun Lakes. We have over 100 people on our roster so far, and we have several opportunities for canines and their humans to get together socially. I also campaign for our dog owners to meet the needs of our Sun Lakes pet owners. So give me a call. I'll be happy to assist you at any step of your real estate process. I'm Happy to be Your Realtor!
