8 | OHCC LIVING | JANUARY 2024 | Happy New Year! Every year I try to review what I accomplished during the year. Some years the list is longer than others, usually because the accomplishment has been carried over from the previous year or the past several years. is year, I am publishing my list of SERT related things I personally hope to achieve in 2024. _____ Review and update my medical history on my Vial of Life form and SMART911.com _____ Test my smoke and carbon monoxide detectors _____ Evaluate our Emergency Management System to see if it meets our needs _____ Rotate my emergency supplies (out with the old and in with the new); this includes bottled water _____ Check my First Aid Kits and replace items that were used in 2024 _____ Review my important papers; are they up to date? (Wills, Trusts, Advanced Medical Directives) Are they all in one place and easily accessible to grab and go in an emergency? _____ Review my emergency contacts; has information changed? (Check with my neighbors too, in case their information has changed) _____ Review my house exit plan in case of a fire _____ Check my fire extinguishers (still fully charged with the gauge needle in the GREEN and give them a good shake to keep the chemicals inside from clumping) _____ Look around the house to see if items need to be moved or removed to reduce trip and fall hazards _____ Have fun and enjoy retirement! (OK, this really is not a SERT thing, but it is important) In 2024, SERT will continue to work to achieve a safer OHCC experience. Several ideas have been submitted that, if implemented, will require the approval of the Master Board of Directors. Some will not cost anything, just time and effort to put policies in place. Others may require an investment that must be cost justified for proper consideration. ese are some of the items that are being discussed: • Purchase and install a dedicated two-way radio tower for emergency use by SERT • Purchase a mobile trailer and stock it with emergency equipment and first aid supplies • Purchase and install an additional SERT Shed in the overflow parking lot for more efficient access to equipment in an emergency If you have ideas, please share them by sending an email to OHCCSERT@gmail.com. ank you all for supporting SERT. Please stay safe and healthy in 2024! Achievements 2024 Tom Porter, President
