Hello friends! At our January meeting, we were provided with two informative presentations from two members on our Community Awareness Committee. Mike Mendoza provided important information on the use of two-way walkie-talkies during an emergency, and Andi Henderson provided an overview of the Four Seasons Community Awareness (formerly Neighborhood Watch) Program. On Feb. 14, we had a "Sweethearts" CPR Training Class. e training was coordinated by AJ Reilly, nurse extraordinaire! In March, we are scheduled to have a return visit from Beaumont Wastewater Dept. who will provide us with important information on how to prevent sewer back-ups. What you put down your drains and what you flush down your toilets are important considerations to remember for sewer back-up prevention. READY, SET, GO! Unplanned emergency events may require you to evacuate your home. As we experienced during the wildfires last year, police and fire departments either mandated or requested we evacuate our homes due to the imminent danger that threatened us. In such circumstances, you need to be prepared to leave your home immediately. e following checklist is provided to help you prepare to evacuate your home at a moment's notice. What You Will Need to Pack in a "GO BAG" • Start with a STURDY BACKPACK / DUFFEL BAG / SUITCASE • FOOD & WATER: Pack small amounts and plenty to drink • FIRST AID KIT for minor injuries and include N95 masks • MEDICATIONS & PRESCRIPTIONS • EMERGENCY TOOLS: Flashlight, small lantern, and batteries • PHONE / LAPTOP / CHARGERS • CASH IN SMALL BILLS: Stock up on $1s, $5s, and $10s. Electricity could be out, with ATMs out of service. • IMPORTANT PAPERS: Social Security Card, RX, IDs, Insurance, DD214, Birth Certificates, and any valuable papers. • CHANGE OF CLOTHES & JACKET • PERSONAL HYGIENE SUPPLIES: Toilet paper, towelettes, tissues, sanitizer, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and any other immediate needs. • EXTRA EYEGLASSES / CONTACTS • BLANKETS & PILLOWS • PET SUPPLIES • KEYS IN SUMMARY, BE PREPARED! Remember, "If you see something, say something."
