I just want to know if Idaho has lost her ever-freaking mind. I would laugh at this except I know it is not a joke and in reality what they are practicing for is societal collapse and civil unrest. Gee, I wonder whose bright idea this was? Surely it has the approval of Governor Otter who seems to have shifted to the dark side. He is signing Idaho up (along with the majority of Republicans in this state I might add) to accept Obama’s health care exchange and in return, Idaho gets millions. I am sure Otter’s 30 [million] pieces of silver seem a great boon to him; to the patriots of Idaho, it is more like treason. Once the state door is open to these Progressive vampires, they go all out. The latest invited in is evidently FEMA.

Yes folks, FEMA will hold a Zombie Apocalypse/Alien Invasion drill in Moscow, Idaho on April 27th, from 9 am to 5 pm with 100 goons and/or dupes participating. This is a full-scale exercise. Guess what? I may go see this for myself. Moscow is full of good people. I almost moved there. I know they don’t condone this farce of a pretense. I wonder why they picked Moscow? There’s a university there, but it is a small town. Boise would have been the logical choice, but I don’t think logic has anything to do with this.

There are 2 scenarios: mass casualty and a rope rescue. All Latah Co first responders and nearby counties will be participating. CERT will be assisting in the EOC and other duties as deemed necessary.

Mass casualties? From what? A blizzard? Flooding? Neither of those are likely at all. More likely, mass casualties from civil unrest and the Obama administration clamping down hard on the area. I find this very disturbing. Maybe there’s a “logic” to it after all: Moscow is a small town, off the beaten path, with a pool of willing, uh, “participants” to recruit for such an exercise. Doing this in a larger venue might attract press, remote small-town Idaho, not so much.

Hey, any excuse to practice shooting at unarmed citizens, right? The government is using citizen target profiles to practice with as well, while buying up all the arms and ammo they can get their evil hands on. They are also stockpiling food and medicine. I’m sure this is all just a coincidence – not. If FEMA and the CDC were truly concerned in prepping for emergencies to ‘protect’ civilians, they would go about it seriously. Instead, they are practicing on how to take us down in case of an emergency, while trying to sell it as humorous. Look at the funny government! Don’t pay attention to what they are really practicing for. I seriously doubt it is Zombies or Aliens. The government thugs and our local leaders make it seem sooo silly, that no one will take it seriously (at least they hope that is the case). They want everyone to view it as entertainment, like a movie and not real. Do they really think we are that stupid? Why, yes they do. It’s like reality TV, without the reality or the TV.

While the nut cases and the conspiracy theorists will thrill to this, you should be thinking in real terms. For instance, if the economy tanks, which is VERY likely, the government knows there will be riots and violence. They are preparing for how to quell these events. Which is why the choice of Moscow, Idaho has me confused. The Coeur d’Alene/Post Falls/Hayden area is close and much bigger in population. So, I will have to keep noodling on their choice of cities. Perhaps it is a county/regional thing. In which case, those in Moscow need to be asking some hard questions of their leaders.

I would really like to know what Senators Mike Crapo and Jim Risch have to say about this. I would also like to know what Congressmen Raul Labrador and Mike Simpson have to say. I don’t care if it is their area of the state or not – this affects all of us.

The person organizing this at FEMA is Sandy Rollins. Here is her contact info at Citizen Corps (that creeps me out all by itself – or as Obama would say: ‘Citizen Corpse’):

Nothing makes much sense anymore. We cuddle with the Muslim Brotherhood and support terrorists and tyrants. The US is broke and we are gutting our military, but we can send fighter jets to Egypt. We are supposedly protecting the homeland, but we release over 2000 illegal immigrants (part of the smoke and mirrors of Sequestration), many with violent records with a promise that they will check in. We leave our borders wide open. We are redistributing our wealth to nations all over the planet, while running FEMA drills across the country for reasons that just don’t make sense. Unless of course you include civil unrest and martial law in the equation. And possibly war. All this while our leaders are trying to disarm us and nullify the Second Amendment and the Constitution itself. Do the revolutionary math.

Believe it or not, most people aren’t bothered by all this. They just think it is the government running drills and is normal. It is not normal folks. Not at all. And the costs have to run into the many millions if not billions. How can we afford this, especially since it is unnecessary?

There are military drills being run all over the country now. Tammy Bruce reports there have been drills in LA. I’ve seen reports on Houston, Miami, Chicago, Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Phoenix and the list goes on and on. These drills included helicopters and repelling military into the heart of cities. All I can say, is trust your gut. This will not end well.

The government is prepping Idaho — maybe reminding us we’re not out of reach? — as part of its overall plan for the US and her citizens. Believe me when I say that it has nothing to do with Zombies or Aliens (well, maybe illegal aliens). Something wicked this way comes, folks. And it’s not cute. And it’s not theater. It will be very real. Life-and-death real.

Note: The web page has now been taken down from the FEMA web site, citing that this post (on a Sunday) caused so much negative response, it had to be removed. I’m just a blogger on a backwater blog asking questions about stuff that doesn’t seem right. You never know what question is going to start a storm.

Palin: Washington buying bullets for us

If there ever was a disaster in the Bay Area, residents should plan on being self-sufficient for at least five days, according to the American Red Cross, speaking to a group of County agencies last December at a Coastal Emergency Action Program (CEAP) meeting in Half Moon Bay about establishing a countywide organization to serve human and animal needs following a disaster.

That’s where Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD) comes in. VOAD is a team of local organizations committed to encouraging cooperation and coordination in planning for and responding to disasters. VOAD aims to minimize duplication of services during a disaster and provide more efficient services to those affected. The Red Cross and other key partners are currently working toward establishing a San Mateo County VOAD.

Here is the link to the full Patch.com article.

The Silver Dragon full scale exercise is coming up soon, RSVP’s are due to Christy (cadonis@redwoodcity.org or (650) 780-7400) by April 11^th, 2013.  Please see the attached “Exercise Schedule” for additional details.  Once you have RSVP’d, you will receive further event details (allowing us to avoid over emailing those who are unable to attend).  Here is the link to the exercise press release provided by San Mateo Public Health Department.

As many of you know, we have a great group of team members volunteering at many levels and it is with their assistance, we are able to do more for our communities.  With that said, Christy is happy to announce, we are able to cover areas in both the City of Redwood City and the City of San Carlos.

This is a one of the largest CERT exercises in our area, a great way to test your skills, meet new members and provide preparedness information to your community.

Volunteer Gurprit blows bubbles with a very happy Sunny, who is also coloring a home fire safety sheet. Background: Myisha hands out information next to the Fire Fighters Burn Institute booth.

Volunteers Gurprit, Tim, and Myisha had the privilege of going to Shriners Hospital (next to the UC Davis Medical Center in downtown Sacramento) and tabling at a Fire and Burn health fair. We were right next to the Fire Fighters Burn Institute, a non-profit that aids with the recovery of those who have suffered severe burns.

Volunteer Gurprit blows bubbles with kids at our Red Cross table.

Gurprit colors a home fire safety sheet with a visitor at our booth!

PG&E, our primary local sponsor, was out with their repair truck front and center. They gave demonstrations of gas shut-off, smart meters, and home fire and appliance safety.

PG&E brought out one of their main service trucks to draw attention to the event at Shriners Hospital.

A variety of other non-profit and community groups were present as well. CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) members came and demonstrated how to escape from a smoky building with their mobile Fire Safety House.

The CERT banner flying outside of the Shriners Hospital. Background: PG&E’s truck and the crowd around the food vendors!

With the assistance of firefighters and CERT, kids Crawl Low and Go underneath smoke (from a fog machine!) to get out of the trailer. This simulated escape trains kids how to behave during a real life home fire.

CERT volunteers at their “Fire Safety House,” a mobile unit that simulates a smoky room, from which kids escape!

KMUD Airs Preview of Upcoming Disaster Prep Workshop

On Thursday March 7 at 5pm, KMUD and The Southern Humboldt Amateur Radio Club present The SHARC Report. This month the program features an interview with Linda Nellist, who will lead a CERT training workshop in the Whitethorn area on Friday-Sunday, March 8-10. Linda will talk about the workshop, which involves 23 hours of instruction, covering disaster preparedness, earthquake, tsunami, flood and fire hazards, medical operations and triage, among other topics. The training includes a full disaster simulation drill, and participants will receive a backpack full of safety equipment. Ordinarily the course fee is $150 dollars, but because of generous donations Southern Humboldt residents can take the course at no charge. To sign up for the CERT training workshop, call Judy Warren at 499-0754, Kent Griggsmiller at 986-7416 or Susie Fox at 986-7314. Tune in to The SHARC Report on the first Thursday of every month at 5pm on KMUD.

Anyway the main problem with this is that it is such a vast area.. by which I mean there are so many negatives and I really struggled to find positives about it. I remember not long ago Lonán, Rónan and I were actually having a debate about this and I distinctly remember no positives given by all 3 of us. I will be dealing with the Leaving Certificate as apposed to the whole system too.

The most ridiculous part of the course is definitely the way we are all just in one big competition at the end of the day. We are all against each other in our schools, our county and our country. That’s about 50,000 – 60,000 students. How many of ye can say ye have actually thought about that? The Leaving Cert is an opportunity to open new doors but at the same time that door can slam shut and break your nose as quick as it can open. So the pressure that puts on us as students to perform at an excellent level is brutal. To go into a profession which is high up the ladder such as a doctor, physio, psychologist etc. you have to average about 90% in all 6 exams. Now having said that, that is a massive task. You can only afford to get 10% wrong in every exam. Trying to do that in ONE exam is a tough task but six? The only way of achieving this is replacing your outside life with school. Which isn’t fair on anybody. Some people thrive on the pressure and some crack, you don’t really know how you will do until you flick through the paper. The points system was brought in to avoid the scenario of the doctors son getting the job as a doctor after he retires just because he was his son or a friend of a friend. It does get rid of that but only to a certain degree, things like that still happen and won’t be going away any time soon. But even if you get the points and the course, who’s to say there is even a job for you?

The course itself is without doubt out of date. At least Maths and Irish are trying to improve with the 25 extra points for HL Maths and Irish bringing the Oral to 40%. But as I just mentioned, with HL Maths giving them 25 extra points that means only one thing. All courses that applicants do HL Maths will inflate points wise. It’s a vicious circle. You can take subjects such as Latin and Greek but yet there is no course on Computers in any shape or form? Now we live in a society where computing and technology is moving a million miles a minute and I haven’t a clue how to type a simple code? That’s not all. Spanish is around the second most spoken language in the world and it is the 3rd choice language subject and isn’t offered in a lot of schools. On average 27,000 students take French, 8,000 take German and 3,000 take Spanish. Now I dunno about you but the fact French has nine times the amount of Spanish students is beyond me.

Another thing which seriously irritates me is that in school you simply do not find out what you want to do with your life when you get out into the big bad world. Surely if they put more effort into helping us decide what we want to do then we will be going into what we want not what we thought looked good at the time. I’ve changed my mind about a career 3 times this year alone. Where is my guidance counsellor? She is running about trying to help 500 students for 4 hours a day. That needs to change. We need more time with the guidance counsellor to figure out what we want to do. I understand they can’t tell us what we want to do but they can point us in the right direction. When I was in first year I’m fairly sure I wanted to be a primary school teacher, looking back now that is not where I want to be. I had to figure that all out for myself though, because school doesn’t tell you what you need to know. It fills your brain with essays you are expected to sing out without a slip. Maths formulas that don’t make sense, Physics formula’s that make even less sense and learning how drugs are bad for you in a foreign language. I don’t want to learn that crap. I want to learn how to speak my native language fluently not learn old poems and stories. I want to be able to speak French with a French native on proper topics I want to talk about. I want to learn how to write an inspirational piece of writing with just a pen, paper and my heart. I want to be able to bring out emotion in what I write not about what someone else did. English should focus on our writing abilities not Shakespeare’s. He was a great man in his time but his time has passed. It’s out turn now. The government has to realise that it can’t hold onto its out-dated course forever. Good things come with change and that is exactly what is needed here.

Thanks for reading this and I hope you enjoyed it.

Not only does this gem of an app replicate the contents of the F.O.G.in the “Home” tab, every page of the CERT Student manual is included under the “Manuals” tab.  Go to the “Visuals” tab and you see every Powerpoint chart from the training.   The “Audio” tab provides refresher lessons you can listen to, and the last tab is the included scanner function to let you listen in on a variety of emergency channels from around the country and international too.

Here is the information link for the app.

 
Here is a writeup from Macworld magazine.  The Macworld article also includes screen shots of the various sections.

We also discussed our upcoming 2013 year, trainings and meetings for our team.  The Activities page of this blog has been updated with dates, and offerings.  Please note as we move closer to the dates, flyers with descriptions and meeting locations will be posted here.  We will also be inviting neighboring CERTs to attend, as this will allow us to meet and train together.

PEMS also works well with fairs, parades and other group activities.

Current Emergency Management Problems (in our school district)

• Communication is only broadcast, there is no way to reply to emails or voicemails. When checking an email on an iPhone, I was prompted to download software. In a real emergency, this could tie up a lot of bandwidth.
• Parents don’t know the status of their kids, and can’t communicate with them.
• If kids are to be picked up, what if a parent can’t make it? How is that communicated to the office? How does the office handle all that communication?
• In the event of a serious earthquake, where emergency responders might not be able to help, how are groups of people triaged? How are supplies requested, allocated, and transported?
• In an earthquake, everyone meets on the large playground. How do people communicate?
• Information is extremely course grained.

A solution to all those issues is a simple system that organizes the relationships and communications between people based on roles and resources. Parents, responders, and volunteers, have collaborative real-time access about everyone’s condition, abilities, and resources, to effectively do triage and allocate resources. Sample use case (draft)

Parents

• Be informed of each major change in your kids status, location, and condition in real time.
• Be able to contact children, and or their stewards, directly.
• Be able to send kids to a neighbor’s house if unable to pick up.

Emergency Responders

• Know many aspects of a situation before arrival (number involved, short description, photo) and so can start triage immediately.
• Know location of incident.
• Have immediate access to kids medical history on file.
• Reduced response time because information can go directly to responders.
• Can easily create new groups of people to manage situations in real time.

Teachers And Administrators

• Can formally communicate while away from computers and if electricity is interrupted.
• Reduce workload in multiple ways.
  • Most information is already present, and updated on a distributed basis.
  • Most decisions are made by a few taps.
• Multiple near real time of filtered and organized information allow much better and faster decision making.
• Communication is bi-directional.
• The role of liaison with the public, and other jurisdictions, is simple and easy.
• Can easily create new groups of people to manage situations in real time.

Kids

• Know that they are in a system that supports them.
• Have quick and direct access to parents.

Privacy And Preferences

• Because of modularity, privacy is automatically protected.
• People own their own information. In this case kids own their own information via their stewards. This avoids: Your School Is Screwing Your Kids For Profit.
• Participants can pre-select which categories will trigger information being sent to them.

Cost
First month free. Then, if paying as an individual, participation costs $5 every 3 months. Or, if an event is paying, the cost is $1 per participant on the 1st of the month, and the participant pays zero. If a participant is in, say, 4 events, each event pays $0.25 and the particpant pays 0. Nobody is double charged, but payment is non refundable.

PEMS is a subset of the patent pending Castpoints system, and should be available soon.

Mary Jo Flynn, the Assistant Director of the Emergency Management Division in Anaheim California, consistently surprises me with her creative use of social media and new technologies to engage CERT members. For instance, just a couple of months ago she Tweeted about how she integrated the use of QR codes into a CERT exercise.

Colleges and universities have a tremendous amount of resources.  These resources allow a certain measure of self-sufficiency.  I was reminded of this by a recent article about Tufts University working to keep their campus operational after Nemo.  Campuses are truly communities, with hundreds or thousands of residents, hundreds of commuters, and an infrastructure to support it all including roads, facilities, healthcare, and food.  Not only must they have emergency plans in place, but also business continuity plans.  Largely, their number one hazard is fire – and colleges take fire safety very seriously – but they all have their own unique hazard profile which they must address just like any other community.

I have always encouraged colleges to work with their local communities and vice-versa.  There are a number of case studies out there, certainly of local communities aiding campuses during fires, shootings, and other emergencies and disasters.  But there are also instances of colleges helping the local communities.  Not only do campuses have public safety resources (these encompass the entire range of law enforcement – from security guards, to peace officers, to police), but they also have some public works resources, and a vast number of potential volunteers that can all be deployed to aid a local community.  Depending on the education the college provides, these volunteers can range from general labor, to those being trained as social workers, medical providers, veterinarians, and other professions which can provide direct assistance under the supervision of an experienced professional.  This is not only a huge force multiplier to aid the community but also provides real, hands-on experience to the students.  Likely an experience they will never forget.  We’ve also seen colleges and universities provide assistance to local communities on-campus.  Campuses have served as shelters (both in dorms and other facilities, such as gymnasiums) and feeding facilities through their dining halls.  When off term, campuses have massive potential to serve as incident bases, supporting the needs of a larger incident by providing services for incident personnel and resources (remember your ICS training?) through their lodging and feeding capability, medical facilities, loading docks, garages and maintenance facilities, and even just their open spaces.

Colleges and universities have to ensure their own preparedness just like any other community, but they should also work with their local communities and even their county emergency manager on cooperative emergency management relationships.  Local responders should be familiar with the campus, its hazards, facilities, and the people who operate it.  The campus can further relationships by hosting training programs for area responders and emergency managers and should include area responders in any preparedness exercises they conduct.  Engaging the student population in preparedness efforts will have great impact on the campus’s emergency program and will provide skills that the students will carry with them forever.
