| Four Seasons Hemet Herald | November 2016 | 15 November's Tip: Remember to check your medications, water, and non-perishable food supplies. Make sure that you have an emergency information form completed, and that your remote relatives and friends have a copy of any evacuation plan you may develop. Also, be sure to keep your vehicle fuel filled to at least half full in case there is a major emergency or extended power outage. Ensure that your Roaming Patrol number is set up for speed-dial if you have that feature. This is especially important if you are a walking enthusiast or living alone. Don't be caught unprepared if a personal emergency occurs! Your Emergency Preparedness Committee and our CERT members participated in this year's Shake Out, which took place on Thurs., Oct. 20. at 10:20 am. Did you? We also participated in the Annual Car Show, and we hope that you dropped by our booth to check out what is being done to prepare and assist our community should a major disaster occur! As always, the emphasis on earthquakes stems from the fact that we still have little predictive tools that can warn us, AND the destructive potential compared to other disasters that can occur! If we prepare for the worse case, anything else will be easier to handle. As a part of this, we have created a handbook for each household with safety and emergency preparedness information, which we will be distributing at events, various club meetings, and in the Lodge. We here at Four Seasons have it better than most neighborhoods. We have a large percentage of residents who are active in various events and organizations, and have come to know each other. We have a large number of active and retired residents who have had experience in the military, medical, public safety, communications, public utilities, and management sectors. You are encouraged to attend our Safety and Preparedness (Street Captains) meetings, join-in to get some training, and support our community in any way you can. You don't have to commit to "join" anything — though you are more than welcome to! We meet the fourth Monday from 6:30 to 7:30 pm in the Multipurpose (Card) Room. Just "TIVO" your favorite (football?) program, and, as Monty Hall used to say, "Come on down!" Please make the time to become "part of the solution, not part of the problem." Please remember, the worse time to ask "What can I do?" is at the onset of an event! Because, having to tell you what to do takes up valuable time that needs to be spent actually doing what needs to be done. Emergency Preparedness Committee The total assets balance is $5,138,978.43.
